Ghost Explorer (Ghostexp.exe) allows you to view, add, delete, launch and extract files from a Ghost image (.gho) file.
Following task can be performed using Ghost Explorer:
- View image file contents and save a list of files within an image file.
- Extract files or directories from an image file.
- Add, move, copy, delete, and launch files from and within an image file.
- Drag-and-drop functionality.
- Span sizes can be set.
- Add/edit description of image.
Ghost Explorer supports different partition types from FAT 16 to NTFS and Linux Ext2/3
more info on ext2/3
Ghost Explorer prevents you from adding files to the root folder of Linux Ext2/3 partitions. If you add files, the new files are not visible when you restore the image, and the e2fsck tool reports errors.
File-based images only.
Just wanted to add that the Ghost Explorer only supports these operations for file-based (standard) images, and not sector-based images. These operation do not work on images made with -IR, or Linux images where the -IAL switch has to "fall back" to a sector-based copy (for instance, with an unsupported distribution).
