Worked like a charm on my XP system having a very similar problem. Had cloned a Thinkpad (x200) using Apricorn EZ Upgrade onto a larger HDD. System appeared to work perfectly until I ran my weekly backup (using Norton360) onto a Western Digital USB drive. Every time I ran backup; got the same BSOD with 'Bad pool header'. I spent 5hours last night trying to resolve the problem; found lots of chatter about this problem but no working solutions. Prior to doing what you recommeded; following another recommendation, I removed all 'ghosted devices' showing up in my Device mgmr, but that didn't resolve the problem (or at least not completely). Also played with Shadow Copy service, etc...to no avail. This one worked. Thanks!. Note: under XP, to see hidden devices you need first set a environmental variable: see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315539. Thank you!.
