Have you tried doing a copy without using a scale option?
Not yet. I ended up using Scale to Target.
However, after 5 hours my copy "finished", but now I'm stumped.
The disk copy says it completed, but I got the following screen:
Note that the copy is listed as completed (even the "Cancel" button is gone, and replaced with "Close"), yet it's showing only an 86% progress (and 43 minutes left to go). The end of the IFW.log file says:
[11/23/2011 5:06:11 am] Bad Sectors - Reading:7 Writing:0 (1)
[11/23/2011 5:06:11 am] Operation Completed with Error Code 0
[11/23/2011 5:06:11 am] Stop
I know about the bad sectors (I posted about them yesterday in another topic), so far they seem to be on a non-critical section of my C: drive (Windows is booting up and the computer is so far running fine), and the number of sectors hasn't increased since yesterday, but I'm trying to copy the drive before it becomes critical.
The other problem is that the target drive (connected via a USB to IDE cable) appears not to have been changed after the copy. After the copying finished, I safely removed the USB drive, shut down my computer, restarted the computer, reconnected the USB drive, and the target drive doesn't look like anything has happened to it. Here are some (hopefully) relevant screenshots:
From IFW:
(I grayed out the name of my C: drive for privacy.)
The source drive is HD 0, the target drive is HD 3. Note that there are no partitions on HD 3.

Target:
Using Windows Disk Management util, I initialized HD 3 before starting the copy, but I did not partition it (I assumed IFW copy would do that).
Except as a last resort, I don't want to swap hard drives until I'm sure a bootable copy has been made. This is on a laptop, so swapping is a bit of a pain (though I've done it before), also this is my only computer connected to the net, so if the new drive doesn't work, I have to swap back to the old one to get more answers.
Any ideas why the copy supposedly completed successfully, yet the screen showed only 86%, and the target drive doesn't look like it was written to? BTW, I'm running XP Pro.
Here are more dumps of additional info that may help:
