My HD has 4 partitions, three OSes, and 5 logical drives; part #1= C:
bootable Win98SE, part #2=D: and E: exended DOS, part #3=F: bootable
DOS, part #4=G: bootable Win2K.
I have used GhostPE to copy this working drive to a backup HD for
quite a while with rare problems.
But now, every time i do this, i get the message "NTFS Error: Could
not read used MFT REcord - run CHKDSK" right before it does the copy.
I have carefully run Defrag and (Win2K's) CHKDSK on all drives and
then tried the copy; same crap.

How the &&#$ can this be fixed?


Dunno..I use Acronis True Image.

Can you tell it how many sectors to use for each partition (like one
can do in GhostPE)?


I just set Acronis to clone and compress any complete partition I
chose.

Compress?
Does that mean the resulting HD cannot be used as a replacement when
the sh** hits the fan?

When a drive craps out, the drive is replaced and a boot CD is used to
transfer the disk image to the new hard drive.
The disk image can be from DVD,CD,another hard drive etc..
