NG2003 and VMware workstation 5.5
Jan 3^rd, 2006 at 6:51pm

Hi there,

I backed up my notebook's hard disk with Norton Ghost 2003 on another disk and after that copied these files to DVDs. I read about the possibility of VMware Workstation 5.5 to read Ghost images and to get the machine live under vmware. But VMware say that the images should be made by Norton Ghost 9.0 and up. Does anybody know any way to convert my Norton Ghost images to version 9.0 format? If I could revitalize my machine it would be perfect. I'll appreciate any useful suggestion.

Best regards,
otnvnbg

Otnvnbg, this document may be generally helpful concerning Ghost 2003 and VMWare:

I am intrigued by the possibility to restoring a Ghost image to a virtual machine for purposes of testing. Please post your experiences on this thread:
