I recommend using a hex editor to do this.

Most likely, unless you used compression when you created the ghost images, they will be stored in the file, at a certain offset. Anyone know anything different? Anyone have any idea about a work around?įirst of all, it would be easier to use ghost to do this, since that's probably how you created them. Thing would be different is more people had this need hehe, surely someone could reverse it to make a kernel fs module, or something, but as far as I know such a thing does not exist for ghost files. I doubt that thing has changed, since the ghost format is propietary, close, and symantec is not willing to provide the specifications. I remember someone looking for the same thing in these forums, and AFAIK he never got a solution. I would also need to install the required file onto the partition that is reserved for Windows. I'd like to mount these files so that I can browse them to see which one to install. After browsing the installation CD, I believe that the OS resides in one of several. I've got Linux running decently one my laptop (still working on WPA, but that's another issue.).Īnyway, I'd like to put Windows back on it, but it came with one f those crappy OEM versions of windows which will format the entire drive if I install it normally.
