I did an exhaustive search and read almost every thread posted in the last 40 (or however many days AT's current search is) and I also RTFM. However, when I read the posts, I focused on making a Ghost image so I could have missed something about using Ghost Explorer. Here's the problem.
I cannot view my Ghost images. I have WinXP Pro on an NTFS partition with Ghost v7 - the version that came with Norton Systemworks 2002 Pro. I have one hard drive and one partition on that hard drive so I couldn't save the Ghost image on a hard disk, so I burned it directly to CD-Rs (it took up 3 discs). I used the Boot Disk with CD-RW, LPT, USB support to boot up the comp and to run Ghost. I did Partition -> Image, chose my Verbatim 32x12x40 (a rebadged Lite-On) to burn the Ghost Image. The CD-RW is not officially supported by Symantec since it wasn't listed as being supported on the website. It then asked me if I wanted to make the CD bootable so I said yes and inserted the "CD-ROM Boot Disk" (NOT the Book Disk with CD-RW, LPT, USB support). After that, it told me to put the Boot Disk with CD-RW, etc Support disk in and then started to burn. Took up 3 CD-Rs and it said "Dump Successful." To check my disc, I went to "Check -> Image" but my CD-RW drive didn't show up in the directory that could be checked, only A:\ showed up. That bothered me a little so I restarted my comp to run XP.
Now I opened up Ghost 2002 Explorer and placed CD1 of the image in and Ghost wouldn't open it, saying "Please select the file for the last segment in this image file" I chose to when the open dialog popped up "cancel" and a warning popped up "Corruption in image file, or media not present. Not all files are shown". But the media is present. Then I inserted CD2 and 3 in and both gave me an error "This is a Ghost span extent file. Please load the base Ghost image file." I tried read the Help file and I noticed it said Ghost cannot read "NTFS partitions in image files created by Norton Ghost 3.0 with compression." Hmm..I have NTFS, and I compressed it (using "Fast Compression" in Ghost) but I have Ghost v7 (2002) NOT v3.0.
My previous attempt at Ghosting yielded the same result - GExplorer can't open and, giving me an error of the image being corrupt. I don't get it though - burning seemed to have gone fine, and now I can't even open it in Explorer. Anybody know what's wrong?
