MFT Zone using NTFS in 2k over 650MB!

[videobruce]

I have 2 boxes both with 2 bootable HDD's all running 2k that I just converted over from FAT32 to NTFS.
After doing so I did a disc to disc copy using Drive Image from a bootable floppy (actually a partition to partition copy) and found the MFT Zone grew from less than 70 MB to over 600MB! To be acurate, 650MB and 1GB! I don't know if it is a DI issue or not. Powerquest has nothing I could find on this.

Any one else have this experiance or has copied a converted drive over to another?

There are no errors reported by chkdsk or chkntfs and all seems to work. BTW, the defrag program I use is from vCom (formerly Ontrack) called System Suite V4 Jet Defrag. It has the ability I just found out to display the MFT and the MFT Zone prior to doing a defrag that Norton doesn't/can't! It shows a one huge block after the first block of data (.exe's)

I looked at the M$'s KB and it doesn't tell you a whole lot and doesn't answer the question. I'm new to NTFS and didn't heard of this even existing untill now. I do have the latest updates to the program, though this new outfit hasn't done a thing to it since it was spun off 9 months ago.
