Hey All,
Before I throw this out, I found a trio of CD ROMs that purport to comprise a Norton Ghost backup of a full PC system I had in 2002. I wondered if anyone knows if it’s possible to somehow extract this image onto my M1 Mac?
Seems a long shot, and I won’t cry if it can’t be done, but it would be interesting to see what’s on this from 20 years back. 
Possibly! I think your only bet is Ghost Explorer, an old Windows program. It runs if you bottle it and can open files, but I don’t have a gho file to test.
Ghost Explorer download:
Crossover is the easiest way to bottle it. There’s a free trial. Create a 32-bit Windows XP bottle, then install application into bottle and choose the Ghost Explorer exe.
Thanks for giving me flashbacks to my computer lab student tech days.
Thanks! I do have a Windows laptop here someplace. I was trying to decide how much effort it’s worth.
Just by way of follow-up, should anyone care:
Your suggestion worked a treat. I was able to move the images from 3 CD-ROMS into a folder, run Norton Ghost Explorer and see all of the contents. So, win! And thank you!
Sad news is, there was nothing there I cared about at all. In fact, it seemed almost more of a ‘clean system’ backup than anything that contained my work from that era. Still, that’s good to know–there’s another couple discs I no longer need around.
