Ghost Solution Suite

Hi

I would like to use existing VMDK files created with VMware server 2.0.  When I try to use those VMDKs I get an error about it not being a valid image.  The help file doesn't even contain "vmware" or VMDK.

Does anyone know what type of VMDKs I can use?

Hi,

The only vmdk files that Ghost doesn't support are ESX server files.  I believe VMware Server 2.0 should be fine - though it appears that there is a problem in this case.

Could you please post the ghosterr.txt generated by ghost?

Thanks, Robert.

it actually doesn't create an ghosterr.txt file it doesn't even get that far.  When you click on browse the select VMDK and the file name it immediately says it's not a valid image.

I have tried Server 2.0 Workstation 5 and 6 and none of the image files will work.

Thanks.  What version of ghost32 are you running - you can find out with the following command line: "ghost32 -ver"? 

When ghost32 is operating on vmdk files it needs exclusive access to them, so it could be worth checking that the vmdk file(s) are not part of a VM currently running in VMware and are not mapped as a drive letter.
