Convert Ghost Files To Wim 9,7/10 17 reviews

I am going to describe a quick way to convert Symantec’s Ghost GHO file to Microsoft Virtual Hard Drive VHD file. The process will not require a setup of a virtual machine. You’ll need:

  • The VHDMount utility, which is distributed as a part of Microsoft Virtual Server but can be installed seperately.
  • The GHOST32 utility, which is a part of Symantec Ghost installation.

Prepare an empty VHD file

Use Microsoft Virtual PC or Microsoft Virtual Server to create a new VHD file of desired size and form (fixed size or dynamically expanding). To get you started, I’ve prepared 130GB dynamically expanding new VHD file, you can download here.

I wrote another post about handling the VHD files, you can read here.

Some Macrium Reflect users may want to convert their MRIMG file to an ISO file, but that's not really the step you should take. If what you're after is a way to restore an MRIMG file that doesn't seem to restore properly (maybe because Macrium Reflect can't lock the hard drive), you'll want to instead create a bootable rescue CD.

Install VHDMount utility

Download Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 or newer and run the setup. You can select to install the VHDMount utility only. I suggest a restart after the install.

But at Hogwarts, strange and terrible things are indeed happening: Harry is suddenly hearing mysterious voices from inside the walls, muggle-born students are being attacked, and a message scrawled on the wall in blood puts everyone on his/her guard - 'The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. Harry decides to ignore Dobby's warning and continues with his pre-arranged schedule. Download harry potter 2 sub indo.

Mount empty VHD file as local drive

Using VHDMount utility you can mount VHD file as a local hard drive. Execute:

vhdmount /p /f image.vhd

You should receive a “The Virtual Hard Disk is successfully plugged in as a virtual disk device.” response, followed by a series of “New hardware found” messages.

Copy GHO to VHD file

Run GHOST32 utility, which can be found in the directory where you’ve installed Symantec Ghost. Using the GHOST32 utility, you can restore GHO image file to any of the local drives (Local › Disk › From Image). Make sure you choose the destination disk drive that represents the mounted VHD file, as you can easily overwrite any other local disk drive. Use GDISK32 utility to determine first which one is “MS Virtual Server” drive if uncertain.

Once transfer is complete you can safely choose not to restart the computer and just exit the GHOST32. Unmouting the VHD file is sufficient.

Unmount the VHD file

Use VHDMount utility once again to unmount the VHD file. Execute:

vhdmount /u image.vhd
