Ghost Explorer Notes For Use With Norton Ghost Personal Edition
==================================================================
This README file covers the installation and release notes for
Ghost Explorer when used with Norton Ghost Personal Edition.
==================================================================
1. Overview
==================================================================
Ghost Explorer is a Windows 95/98 and NT program, looking similar
to Windows Explorer, which can open a GHOST image file and restore
individual files or entire directory structures from it. It can
also launch GHOST in batch mode to create an image file, using
Windows dialog boxes to prompt for the disk and partition to dump.
GHOST creates an index for FAT partitions in the image file as it
works which allows Ghost Explorer to create a display of files
very quickly. Ghost Explorer creates external index files for NTFS
partitions the first time it reads the image file.
==================================================================
2. Ghost Explorer Abilities
==================================================================
- View image files created by Norton Ghost Personal Edition
(Only FAT and NTFS partitions will show files.)
- Restore either whole directory structures or individual files.
- Select several files at once.
- Sort your view. In details view, click on a column heading to
sort by that column. Click again to reverse the sort.
- A GHOST image file can be dropped on Ghost Explorer for
display.
- A menu pops up when a file is right clicked in the File pane.
- Files can be launched using the Windows application registered
for the file type from within Ghost Explorer by double-clicking
them. A stand alone executable file within an image file may be
run only when it does not require access to any other files inside
the image file to run successfully.
- Supports deleting files (but not directories) within FAT
images.
- Supports spanned image files.
- Reports on any problems (e.g. disk full) when restoring files.
- Restores an entire partition.
- Displays double-byte filenames correctly (on a machine with
suitable fonts).
