BAD_POOL_HEADER error after using DiscWizard

I have recently used the Seagate DiscWizard software (by Acronis) to image

and clone my system. After running the clone for a few weeks I discovered

that NTbackup causes a BSOD (BAD_POOL_HEADER, Stop code 0x19, parameter 1 is

0x20). The problem is almost identical to that described in posting "backup

using shadow copy causes blue screen stop" by what

bobfnospam@duxsysnospam.com. If volume shadow copy is disabled, the backup

works properly.

I found that the problems with NTbackup could be fixed by using System

Restore after booting up the clone, to return to a checkpoint made before the

cloning (or imaging) operation. Pesumably, this resets something in the

registry or system files that has been corrupted by DiscWizard.

Unfortunately, I'm not convinced this is the only corrupted aspect of the

system though. Prior to using DiscWizard, my system has been stable for 6

months at least. After restoring the image, I have found other strange things.

For example, the system event log was truncated to the day before the image

was performed, where-as it previously went back to about Feb 2007. More

ominously, I now find that the system is inconsistently updating file access

times. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be totally

random.

I continued working on the original clone for some weeks before I realised

there were problems, when I used NTbackup for the first time since cloning.

However, in tracking down the NTbackup problem, I also discovered that

indexing had been corrupted, system restore was dead, and the sound had gone.

I tried correcting these, but in the end found it was better to start over

again from the system image.

Now my system seems superficially OK, except for not updating the file

access times consistently. Can anyone suggest a fix for this problem?

Is there some utility (other than sfc) I can use to check my system is not

corrupted in some way? I would rather avoid a repair install. I only have a

slow dial-up, so re-downloading years of Windows updates is not an option!

Thanks for any advice...
