Bad directory buffer signature? wtf?

[mechanix]

Hello I have a problem.
Im using Norton version 9 ghosting program attempting to make an exact copy of my HD bootable and everything. It seems to be an easy program to use, there is even a direct option to do this very thing. well, at the end it cant complete because I get this:

"The drive copy did not complete successfully. Cannot copy source drive to destination location. Error EA3905E4: Bad directory buffer signature.
(OxEA3905E4)"

any ideas on how to fix this? HD is a western digital 160 gig sata. using XP service pack 2 all updated.

Odd error... My first thought would be a problem with your CD/DVD drive rather than your harddrive. Have you googled the error? I don't feel like it but there might be more insite there.

Or...save your money and get AVG Free It's served me well for quite a while now.
