Opening a .GHS Symantec Ghost Image

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone had any ides on how to open a .GHS file that's been created with Symantec Ghost?

When you are imaging, it spans your data over 2gb (or less) chunks - the first file created is named .GHO and all subsequent files are .GHS. You can use the Ghost Explorer app to browse and extract individual files from the image, but it always asks for the "master" .GHS file - you cannot open up a .GHO.

I'm just wondering if there is any way I can trick it into opening up a .GHS file - I have an image set of two files - a 2gb .GHO which is lost so i don't even have that to go on and the remaining data is in a 650mb .GHS file which is un-damaged. I would like to recover as much as I can from this remaining .GHS.

The image I have seems to be compressed also. I'm looking into it with a hex editor at the moment to try and see if i can draw any conclusions comparing it with a valid image.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers,

Mark.
