The versions of Ghost I have used allow you to explore any files stored in the image. Which version of Ghost did you use ? I didn't feel like reading all of that output you posted.

... neither do I. Debugging internal problems in code is extremely difficult and time consuming. Why don't you read through THIS 5-pages thread related to norton ghost Unexpected end of file problem then see what applies to you? Pay particular attention to what Nigel Bree (a Symantec Employee ??) and hawk333w wrote. Good luck & Best Wishes. i_Xp/VistaUser

hi i read about this the other day , no idea if it will work specially as the image has failed once already ,v long shot? vmconverter can convert ghost image for use in vm , http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/con... out of interest xpuser, anyone, have you seen this done before?

Ghost has a viewer but you must have a working file. Since you didn't use the correct program how do you know the file is bad? Boot the CD if you have V9 or above. It has legacy tools. "Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10

I did use the correct program. i used Ghost to create image and in the attempt to restore it. Another question. Is there a program for repairing corrupt Ghost images. Always assuming they are not too corrupt. We believe the drive they were written to is OK, but the source drive from which the image was created is not. Many thanks to everyone who has tried to help

... oh a bit late I guess http://ghost.radified.com/ ... depends on which version of ghost ... I've had crappy boot-up CD/DVD mess up with End Of File read errors before but had the image saved on a massive hard drive for those "just in case" episodes. ... the file "Ghostexp.exe" will read the image files and extract any files, I believe you can also import files to the image with this file; but I never had success doing this as I used high compression creating the image(s) ... better late than never! Grrrr wat do I know? ... got brain freeze
