[ale] NTFSclone, and disk errors.

I'm trying to dupe a disk with ntfsclone onto a bigger hard drive. (Via 
CloneZilla or SystemRescueCD/Gparted, but same core issue.)

When it reaches a particular spot, it crashes. It does this even with 
the '-rescue' tag on. So fine; run a program, scan the disk, have it 
mark the sector bad, and have ntfsclone ignore it.

Would that it were this simple. chkdsk doesn't do it right, the disk 
checker from fujitsu doesn't do it right. What is there out there that 
will do this the right way so that ntfsclone will do its magic?

Thanks,
David
