I give up. Throw the HD away and try agan. by vetitice 2007-03-04 16:06:42
HD is dying anyway, but wanted to clone my ntfs partition to a new drive so I didn't have to reinstall.

Knoppix won't let me open ntfs drives r/w. modprobe says the FUSE module doesn't exist. Whatever that means.

Partition Magic 8 gave it a good try, but there was some mismatch in directory entries, and two goes with chkdsk did nothing to make it better.

WinXP setup is now 32% through formatting the new disk. Then just have the joy of reinstalling everything. On the plus side I xcopied all the old drive to a directory on a different drive, so all my data is safe. Just not a simple image and replace drive.

Blergh.
