But be aware the MFT is the Master File Table it is the index of all your files and any attempt to fix it could render it useless and all your files disappear. Then you can figure out what to try next about attempting to fix the MFT on your original HD. Use your enclosure to copy all your personal files to the 2nd partition (pictures, music, documents anything that you need safe). The first large enough to clone your current Windows installation and the second the remaining space. My thought is to take your new HD and partition it into 2 partitions. I'm thinking you may want to back up your personal files and prepare for the worst. Right now, you can access all your files despite corruption (a good thing and not an opportunity to be wasted). There is the possibility of using a defragmenter program that will attempt to copy the MFT to a new location but from my experience they cause even more problems like unbootable systems.

Every solution involves backing up your data and starting over with a fresh install of the Operating System. I have not found any true fixes for a corrupted MFT.

(Norton Ghost and Farstone DriveClone Pro are NOT free programs - they cost at least $50 or $60 - I'm not sure of the cost 'cuz I don't buy 'em - I'm a tech at a PC shop and the owner pays for any needed software) seriously, the last time I was forced to 'clone' a drive this way, it took about 14 hours. I usually use a bootable Norton Ghost disc for my cloning needs, if that fails for whatever reason, I use Farstone DriveClone Pro, and if that fails, then I use the slowest method known: I boot to a preinstall environment (like BartsPECD or the UBCD4Win) and either manually copy everything from the source drive to the formatted destination drive, or (more likely) use a plug-in (like "Unstoppable Copier") to copy everything. Of course, there will be some limitations (they may require the new drive to be larger than the source original drive regardless of the amount of data on the source drive), they may not support USB drives (you can check this via their web sites), they may take some time (like 4+ hours depending on the amount of data, whether or not there are file system problems, level of fragmentation, etc).

I've used a few of 'em (the Easeus cloning program, the HDclone program) and they actually work fairly well. There are many free cloning/backup tools available here at MajorGeeks (and you'll probably find some others listed here).
