I have some locally stored media i was copying between drives and one mkv file gave this error error reading 'video1.mkv': Input/output error and only copied 176/256 MiB; the copied file plays the video only up to a certain point before abruptly closing; I can play the original file fine albeit there is a noticeable hitch at that point but the video plays normally till the end I have tried zipping the file but it fails to zip it I tried copying it using ffmpeg but it also gave the same error I can copy the file in the same directory but trying to copy the copy also gives the same error I tried copying to a variety of different storage drives and it still gave me this error any ideas?

    Thank you Id 197 and 198 reported 5 & 6 respectively(bad sectors decreased from 6 to 5), Is it possible to copy a file non sequentially; say back to front so i can just join those 2 parts together?
