    Hi!
    I have about 2TB of Norton Ghost files in .gho format, about 20-70GB in size each. I want to copy these to hard drives in a USB docking, and doing all this from windows. Is this possible? I have a bootable external hard drive with ghost running from DOS, but I want to do this directly from windows.
    Some suggestions? ;)

    The .gho are hard drive images, and I want to extract them to a hard drive. I have done it with a external hard drive running a stripped down version of norton ghost. Instead of copying 50 gig to the external drive and then reconstructing the disk from the ghost image, I want to do this directly from windows. I can't figure out how to do this with the windows version of norton ghost, and I was hoping anyone here knew how to do it :)

    So you want to reimage the drive in a USB docking station while in Windows?
    Not just 'copy' the .gho files to another disk?
    When you say extract, I thnk using Ghost Explorer and pulling files out of the image & saying copy, I think move the .gho files from drive to drive, but your really thinking reimage, right?

    BINGO! :)
    Don't just extract the files, but fix the partitions and so.
    Any tips? :)

    Which version of ghost do you have?

    I use norton ghost 15 in windows. I can't figure out how to reimage a drive from the image file. It would be great if I could make image files from harddrives connected to the compmuter via a USB docking.

    Now you are saying
    You can boot from a ghost CD and image a system to an external USB drive, and do the same to recover an image.
    Maybe this will help

    Yes, I know. That is what I've been doing so far. But I want to do this when running windows, and just put the harddrives that I work with in a external USB docking.

    Ok, this is going at it in a round about way, use a virtual machine that boots the Ghost CD, network to your gho files and reimage the USB drive. VMware should be able to handle that.
    That way you're in Windows.. eh?

    Ok, sounds like a ok solution. But can't norton ghost running in windows (v.15) do this? Or is it just backup?
