  • 1.  Ghost Image Details Without UI

    Posted Aug 15, 2016 09:12 AM

    When using ghost with the UI, I am able to see the details of a ghost image. 

    So for example, if I created a disk image of something. Then Selected Local -> Partition -> From Image, then select that ghost image; I am able to see the partitions within that ghost image, with details on the Partition #, Type, Letter, ID, Description, Label, Size, and Data Size. How can I get this information without using the UI? Such as using the command prompt to list or create a text file with this info?

    Thanks for any info helping me with this

    See if the CLI will help you:

    I've been through the list of command line options numerous times, so far the only info I can get from using the command line is to create a CRC32 file, which at the best will only tell me how many partitions there are in the image. If its an NTFS file it will provide a CRC # and if FAT it lists the files and I believe the sizes for each or the CRC for each file. If anyone knows of a command line argument that will provide the details please share!

    Depending on the application, I've seen limited use of the CLI for products. BE, for instance, doesn't offer up a lot and this frustrated users a lot. Reporting too, but that's another story in itself.

    Okay, yeah. I would just expect there to be a way to get the same information using the command line as when using the GUI....

    The CLI tends to add a bit more functionality, but not necessarily all the time.
