	"Bad directory buffer signature" - Que? Mar 6^th, 2007 at 12:26pm I just got this error when restoring a HDD from my external USB hard drive to a new and freshly partitioned PATA HDD. It appeared when the progress bar was at 99%. What does this mean?

I copied this from

Quote:

NTFS Check Errors (1500–1699)
Errors 1500–1699 are NTFS-specific check errors, which can occur when PQDisk checks the
integrity of a partition. PQDisk can fix certain errors when you perform the Check operation. For
more information, see “Resolving Check Errors” on page 87. In this section, “attribute” does not
mean read-only, hidden, system, etc. Rather, “attribute” means one of a file’s data streams.

#1508 Bad directory buffer signature

Suggestion: delete the partitions and let Ghost create the partitions automatically during the restore. Also, run chkdsk x: /f on the partitions afterwards. (x=drive letter).

Also run a Ghost verify of your backup image to be sure it is not corrupt.
