Hi, excuse me if I can't explain my case.... Sorry... I guess that it's for my poor english... SO!...
Note: The about the Ghost32.exe say Symantec Ghost 11.5 Corporate Edition, and Ghostexp.Exe say Symantec Ghost Explorer 11.5.0.2165
1. I have a Hardisk, have 2 partitions (1, System = Windows XP, NTFS - 2, Datas = NTFS, Extended).
2. I made back up the partitions with Symantec Ghost, each one have their Ghost's files.
I have 2 disk to make the backup.
With the first partition, there's no problem making the backup, but with the second partition, one of the disk
(where I was saving the backup) get filled, then the software say that I can change the place of the files,
then I use the other disk to keep the backup.
3. I've deleted the partitions, I've made a low level format of the disk (fill with zero's).
4. I've recreated the old partitions (the same old size, and file system format = NTFS).
5. To restore the information, I don't use Ghost to restore the backup, instead I've used Ghost Explorer.
With the first partition, the restoring back up works fine.
With the second, once I tried to open the Ghost (GHO) file, the software ask for the last file, then I Browse
into the other hard disk used to make the backup and I select the last file.
So, I was able to see the information, Then I proceed to extract the information.
Once some information was extracted, that information It was deleted from the Image (ghost explorer)...
When I was extracting information, I got a error (I think, about the file system) =
"el nombre del archivo es demasiado largo" = "The file name is too large".
So, I think must be a fail of the software... then I exited of the software.
6. I open the Ghost Explorer again to extract the remain information of the second partition (Ghosted), then I have an
error saying that the first file (The GHO) IS NOT A VALID GHOST FILE.... AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM....
I have almost 16 Gb remains to extract... Even the Ghost software was unable to use / check the File...
I can't not use software to restore information (even after of format) because all the clusters was filled with 0's...
Then I need Get / Obtain / Have that information... I don't know if Ghost Explorer has corrupted the Ghost File.....
I need to know if it's possible reindex the file... or what... I know that the information is stored in the files...
I really need open the file and extract the information... really!
And, Thanks Again to response me.
