I sent you ddrescue.
dd with conv=noerror,sync should basically ignore errors and replace the errored sector with zeroes.

Ok got it installed: The terminal box is open saying
terminal 80x24

Do I simply add the following:
# ddrescue /dev/disk0s3 /dev/disk1s2
disk0s3 is my old 320gb drive bootcamp drive
disk1s2 is my new 750gb drive
So do I have this setup correctly? and am I suppose to type it into the terminal box under or to the right of [Process completed]

Sigh. Looks like you have different shared libraries than I do so it won't run.
Step back and use the dd command I provided earlier. Open Terminal.app (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal) and enter
Code:
dd if=/dev/disk0s3 of=[B]/Volumes/External/[/B]Windows.dd.img conv=noerror,syncreplacing /Volumes/External/ with the path to your external HDD.

Ok so my string should read like this correct?
dd if=/dev/disk0s3 of=/disk1s2/Windows.dd.img conv=noerror,sync
No. You want the name that looks like /Volumes/XXX. /dev/disk1s2 is a raw disk and you can't create a file or folder under it, you need the filesystem.
You can find out what name /dev/disk1s2 is mounted as by typing
Code:
mountB
Yup.
EDIT: It will take a while. Like Winclone probably many hours. Monitor its progress just by making sure the file /Volumes/MacFreeAgent/Windows.dd.img keeps growing. When it is as big as your Windows partition it will be done.

Ok so once the file size reach the same size as the partition what do I do?
Do I just close terminal or what? I'm just new to this and don't know what to expect or what to do.
It said Permission Denied

Yes. Just close Terminal at that point.
Sorry. Preface it with sudo and enter your admin password.
Code:
sudo dd ...B
It's still mounted. Try ejecting it in finder or use
Code:
sudo umount /dev/disk0s3B
Hi!
An alternative viewpoint:
It might be better to create a brand new Boot Camp partition on your new drive, then install Windows XP and all your apps again from scratch.
You can then plug in your old drive and manually copy your files over.
A pain, yes, but it might be easier and less dangerous than trying to image it across.

Did you run
Code:
sudo dd if=/dev/disk0s3 of=/Volumes/MacFreeAgent/Windows.dd.img conv=noerror,syncIf so there should definitely be a file being created.
Yeah, probably so. There was another thread where the OP could not re-install due to the relative location of their Mac and their Windows disc that I may be mixing in my head with this one. I'm surprised that both ntfsclone and hdiutil are reporting a bad sector that CHKDSK is not finding that should have been the end of this.

Yes, i ran it and unless I'm looking for it in the wrong place. There no file created and like I said there's no bootcamp drive listed either. After I enter the password the cursor just drops to the next line.
i also search the mac for any img files and nothing.

So you ran "sudo dd ...", entered your admin password. Did you get any output back in the Terminal window? (errors, etc...) You should NOT get a command prompt back for a while. Can you open a second Terminal Window and try to run
Code:
ps waux | grep ddIf you want to, post screenshots of where you are now and I may be able to help further diagnose that.

Here's the screenshot, but I'm looking into doing everything from scratch. Tedious but at least i can get it running by Monday for work. If you don't see anything on screen shot, tell me this. Forgive me if I've forgotten the simple stuff......lol
Will the new procedure be to: A or B
(A)
1. Install the new drive back into the Mac
2. Partition it again 25% mac and 75% windows and install the XP software.
or
(B)
1. Put the new drive into the external enclosure
2. Connect it to the Mac via Firewire port
3. Use Carbon Copy to Clone the Mac OS over to the new drive in 1 Partition
4. Install the new drive back into the Mac and the old one into the enclosure.
5. Open boot camp on the new internal drive and partition it again 25% mac and 75% windows and choose to install the XP software.
After I partition the new drive and install xp on it, will I be able to drag and drop the files from my old bootcamp drive that will now be in the external enclosure?
My main concerns are my iTune program and mp3 library. I use this for my radio show and have hundreds of playlists that must stay in tact. Since I'm copying the directories over exactly the same way I'm assuming all I'll have to do is copy the itunes library files over the new itune install correct?

The screenshot looks fine.
I'm all for doing it from scratch as Kenndac suggests if you're up for that. I'd certainly prefer to have a backup, but the simple GUI tool is failing and leading you through unix has been fun but may be counter productive.
If you're done with dd, just quit Terminal and close all of its windows.
Either would work and it depends on your needs/desires to keep the data on the OS X partition. (A) reinstall both OSes from scratch and move data as needed will be quicker.
Generally, yes, but there is other data stored elsewhere that you might miss if you don't know what to look for. (Artwork, iPhone backups, etc...)
There are two very useful articles at iLounge that talk about this in some depth.

Both of these talk about what you need to do to preserve your itunes library intact (playlists, playcounts, artwork, etc...) when moving it from one place to another.

You should be able to when booted to XP. Not when booted to OS X.

balamw would you believe 3 hrs later I scan't get this damn new drive to do anything. Since it was already partitioned I tried to complete the windows installation and the xp installation ended saying the drive already had an OS on it. Even though I was on the bootcamp drive. So I assumed it was cause I was trying to do from the new drive inside the mac. So I replaced it with the old one and tried it again. Same thing. So I gave up and said I'm going to do it all from scratch. Put the old drive in the mac, put the new one in the external enclosure. booted up onto the old drive on the mac side. I tried to reformat the new drive and for some reason it won't let me. I tried it from DISK UTILITIES but everything was grayed out except the RAID section, BOOT CAMP ASSISTANT always start installing windows xp, I even tried to use Carbon Copy to re-copy the Mac OS to it again but got This drive is not HFS Formated. CCC requires that the source and target volumes are formatted as HFS+.
EDIT:
The drive info says this: Disk Description : Other World Computing Total Capacity : 698.6 GB (750,156,374,016 Bytes)
Connection Bus : FireWire Write Status : Read Only
Connection Type : External S.M.A.R.T. Status : Not Supported
Connection ID : 512384915147533 Partition Map Scheme : Unformatted
Bottom line is I can't even reformat the new drive to start over.
What am I forgetting?

FIXED the non formating problem. I had to unplug the firewire and plug it back in. Then I was able to erase it. Now I'm cloning the Mac side of the old drive to the new drive. I'm just not sure if I was suppose to partition it to 2 parts now or after cloning the mac os.
Either would work, presuming you selected the GPT partition scheme. I've screwed myself before where I cloned it over to APM or MBR by mistake. Then I couldn't install Windows.

I'm at it again. Tell me this. Once the drive is partitioned, and the old mac drive is cloned over with carbon copy. What's the proper steps for getting XP installed on the windows part of the partition?
Last night when I tried it, I open bootcamp assistant and it instantly said install the windows disk. It never showed me the window for making a mac drivers cd. So I continued and got a message saying the the drive was either not formated, damaged or too full. Thats when I shut it all down and went to bed.
So now this morning I repartitioned the new drive and now I'm cloning the mac data over to it. Waiting to install windows xp.
