Title: Recovering files In Ghost 10 to a new machine. Post by Robert Reznikoff on Mar 23rd, 2010 at 10:54am
I wish to recover selected files from a Ghost 10 image on an external drive connected to a Windows 2000 machine that failed. I have a new laptop running Windows XP that I would like to use to retrieve these files. Should I install Ghost 10 to the laptop (I have the disc) to retrieve these files? Will it work, or is there a better way?

Robert,
The easiest way is to boot from the Ghost 10 CD and choose "Recover My Files". If you install Ghost you could mount the recovery point as a virtual drive and use Copy and Paste. |

I am a novice and I don't fully understand your advice. Since my old computer is "kaput", I presume I must first start by installing Ghost 10 on my new laptop. Then I will have to connect my external drive to the laptop. I guess that at that point I can choose "Recover my Files". I now am lost at your last statement, "you could mount the recovery point as a virtual drive and use Copy and Paste". How do I do that? Does the fact that the original files were saved on a machine using Windows 2000 and my new laptop uses Windows XP create a problem?

Actually, no! You do not *have to* unless that's what you prefer! That's what Brian was attempting to explain: Quote:
The Ghost 10 installation CD is also bootable--if your OS will not boot, you can boot from the installation CD--it load what's called the *Ghost Recovery Environment*--from there you can restore an image to your system--or you can choose the utility *Recover My Files*--this utility allows you to copy files from an image file to the location of your choice on your current HDD. The other option: Quote:
If you decide to first install Ghost 10, then Ghost 10 has the ability when you run the Ghost program (it's called Ghost Explorer in Ghost 2003--I don't know if that same program name is used in Ghost 10) under Windows to *mount* an image file so it appears as if it's another partition when you browse the mounted image--i.e. a *virtual drive*--it will have its own drive letter assigned! You can then use *Copy and Paste* just as you would using Windows Explorer. Hope that helps! |
