| Anybody know a program that can read Ghost files? |

We have about 15 or so .gho image files sitting on our network at work, that were taken using Norton Ghost 6 or 7. Those versions of Ghost no longer work on the newest GX280 machines we're getting from Dell (the Broadcom DOS network card driver will load successfully, but we get one of those retarded no-information errors from whatever command runs next, and that hoses up the entire DOS setup, and I believe that Ghost didn't work right in Windows).
So I'm thinking we might be able to use a Knoppix CD (which I believe comes with Captive-NTFS, which we will need) to put the images onto those machines. At least, I'm fairly sure the Broadcom network chip will be supported -- I should probably double check that first. But whatever.
The big problem is that I don't know of any Linux software that can read the Ghost files that we already have. I've seen g4u and g4l (Ghost for Unix and Linux), but I haven't seen anything that says they can read actual Ghost files; it sounds like they just act like Ghost. I could be wrong on that -- has anyone tried it?
Failing that, has anyone used anything else to read Ghost files in Linux? Installing it onto Knoppix isn't a huge problem, if it doesn't come with it. (Moving to another LiveCD would work too, as long as Captive-NTFS isn't too hard to set up, because I've never done it before.)
I probably won't be able to check the board while at work (maybe I can during lunch, at about 12:30 PM EST, but that depends on what else is going on), so it may be about 9 hours before I can read responses.
Thanks! |
