Hi Jean-Pierre,

I have good news!
I was able to repair the image and access the data!

The program I wrote was able to do the lion share of the work.
A few errors needed manual fixing because the scan() / check() functions need 
10 successive error free blocks for resync and some areas had multiple errors 
within a 10 block area.

And in case you need it for someone else, here is the source code of the 
program:
http://www.sbsw.net/ntfsclone-check.cpp

For me the case is closed, do you need any further information regarding the 
problem?

To me these errors look a bit as if the variable, that holds the code to write 
in ntfsclone, doesn't get initialized all the time for code 0x1 blocks, 
because most of the time ntfsclone just wrote a 0x0 were a 0x1 would belong. 
But in a few cases there were other values (0xC8) there. But this is just a 
wild guess. And of course the image was created with the old version of 
ntfsclone that was shipped with the openSuSE 12.1 x64 DVD. Maybe it is 
already gone in the newest version....

I could now try to create a new ntfsclone-image from the raw-image and see if 
the errors persist?!

Thanks again for your help!
