How to retrieve files from image.gho
Jan 16

Hello
I've made a Ghost Image backup and now i can't recover any files in it.
The ghost ran perfectly at creating the image, integrity check -> OK, but when i tried to restore the image it says it can't find the next volume. Thats strange because all the 3 files are there. image.gho, image001.ghs and image002.ghs.
When i try to use ghost explorer, same problem, i load the image.gho file and when it asks for the last file and i pointed to the image002.ghs it constantly asks for the file, until i press cancel. And the it stays at loading image until it gives an error.
I want to know if there's any way possible to retrieve whatever files allocated on image.gho part, and how to do it.
Thanks

Have you overwritten your Ghost image files with new images in the same directory?
Have you done anything to the original image files--like have you defragmented the HDD those image files are on? --or have you copied the files from one place to another? --or ... ?
Maybe this could help:

No question is stupid...but, possibly the answers are

No, not that i remember, because i've made the ghost backup, then tested it, restore to other disk, but the next day when i tried to extract a mail file, the problem started to happen. i don't know if there is any chance that the file could be broken due a disk error.
But if there is no way to access the .ghs files, at least i need to access to the image.gho, and whats inside of that particular file, because i think that is where the mail file (.pst) is located

You have restored the image to another HDD--successfully?

Is the problem only occurring when you use *Ghost Explorer*?
More than one person has reported *flaky* results using *Ghost Explorer*--seems not to be a real *robust* program. Some have resorted to restoring the image file to a spare HDD in order to gain access to individual files to recover. (That's why I have asked the first question above.)

Will the image file set pass another *Integrity* test?

Do you mean *restore the image*--i.e. transfer the data from the image file to a HDD partition--or are you really saying *mount the image file in Ghost Explorer*?

I mean restore to HDD thru ghost 8.0, it ask for the next file, if i quit meanwhile, the disk will appear "empty", without the partition. is it possible to do a partition fix, recover, whatever?

Have you tried pointing Ghost at the *image001.ghs* instead of the *image002.ghs* file?

AcId_CrAsH,
Maybe this is what NightOwl meant, but let me add it anyway:
I believe when Ghost asks you to load the last file (in your case image002.ghs) it needs to do this in order to find the list of all files...that can only be present in the last file, because the whole list is not known until that one is finished.
Normally you do this, Ghost apparently gets the list, then Ghost asks you not-very-clearly for the *next file in your image*. Which for you is image001.ghs. I am venturing a guess that you have image001.ghs and image002.ghs on different disks or in different folders. You need to point it to image001.ghs and hit return.
