Can you create a CRC file while creating an image file for an NTFS partition using the -fcr switch? I'm using Ghost with Windows XP and if I try to create the CRC file I get an error message. If I don't try to create the CRC file the image file is created successfully.

i have it but im too lazy to shut down any of the ocmputers to test. have you chkdsk and all? that might make the error go away.\

more info here. I dunno if my above statement would be true, but the site says it natively stores the CRC checksum in the MFT Table of NTFS. So, a chkdsk and making sure your MFT table is good is a good start.

I can run chkdsk ok. I don't think there's anything wrong with the data on my disk because if I don't have ghost create the crc file the image is created and I can verify its integrity. The problem just seems to be in creating the CRC file. The error message seems to indicate that it fails when its calling fopen to create the CRC file.

I can't create the CRC file when running ghost from the DOS prompt either after the image file is created which I should be able to do using the "-fcr action=dcreate ..." switch.
