Resolved Bad MFT and mirror

I have done several tests on the hard drive and partitions and they say all is healthy.. then it says there is a bad MFT and mirror on one partition.. it is good on the other partition.. is it possible to copy that to the other one?? I don't need any files or anything, just want it to boot up and run. It was running Windows XP Pro. I was getting a reboot over and over.. and I can start the Reatogo XPE CD fine..

 

Hi jbutah, Have a look here. It may be the reason for the error.

Another link said to use Error Checking and Defrag. Cheers Neil.

 

Have a read through that, you might find something that could help you.

Thanks for the help guys.. I read that defrag is a good start.. I keep making progress each time I run defrag, I can boot and get farther.. will let you know.

 

Hi guys, HAPPY 4TH!! so i ran the defrag and it said I need to reformat C: drive so i did and ran the test disk again.. it says still bad MFT and mirror. also that all boot sectors are good.. I am running the reatogo xpe cd, thats how i did the format, defrag and tests. Is anybody good with that program?? HELP..
