Hello all,

I browsed through the forum, but did not see any posts that seemed to fit my particular problem. I have 2 machines, Vista 64 SP2 on one and XP HE SP3 on the other. My vista machine has 2 drives in it, the 2nd drive being for backup. I have Norton Ghost 14 installed on both machines, and the XP machine has been backing up to the Vista backup drive over the network. Well, the XP machine won't boot suddenly, but the Ghost on the Vista machine only sees it's own backup files. Is there a way I can restore files from the XP backups using the Vista?
I guess the simpler question is, what do I need to do to get my files back (not looking for the system restore option right now, just the Files and Folders)

Thanks in advance for any thoughts/suggestions

In addition to NightOwl's suggestion you could Mount a .v2i from the WinXP computer as a virtual drive and access its files.

I assume you are looking for the images (recovery points) in Vista Ghost. Forget that and go directly to the folder where the WinXP .v2i files are stored. Mount the latest by right clicking, choose Mount, accept the drive letter.

Oh, I hope your backups are .v2i and not Files and Folder backups.

Will your XP computer boot without the assistance of that CD?

Good to hear you're back in business!

I personally do not use Ghost 14--I was going by the details in the User Guide as linked above--and I have seen many references to using the *Recovery Point Browser*--I can't give you an explanation as to why you are unable to find it based on the User Guide's outline--but Symantec is noted for poorly worded User Guides  . 

But, follow Brian's advice--he has used the newer Ghost programs and he knows what he's talking about--unlike myself!!!
