Recovering a Ghost Image
Hi, Just before my old laptop was destroyed by the dog (don't ask), I made a back up from the laptop using Norton Ghost 15 thinking I would be able to use Norton via Wine to recover the archives. Turns out that N15 won't run under Wine and won't boot via another laptop (way too old). Shortly after the backup, my RAID array on the main machine went belly up, so I also lost a pile of stuff from there, but not the stuff from the old laptop (held on a different drive). Is there any way to dearchive a Norton image via qemu or something like that?

I can't find the link at the moment, alas.. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines

I know that works, I'm told Norton works, I don't use Windows other than to test access, so I don't have it.
