Ghost Boot CD

[marts_uk]

This might be a long shot, but I'm after a Norton ghost boot cd as mine has got scratched and is now unusable.

I have an external drive with PC images on, and could really do with a working cd/DVD

Can anyone help out?

Thanks

Download a Linux OS such as Ubuntu or Mint and create a bootable CD. That will do a better job than a ghost boot disk.

That wouldn't allow me to restore me ghost PC images though would it?

No, but it's a 'clever' answer so it doesn't matter whether it addresses the problem or not.
More seriously, which version of Ghost? I've found CDs for 9.0, 2001 & 2003 but it's so long since I used them I can't remember if there's file compatibility throughout. If one of them will do I can either burn you a copy or email an ISO.

Ghost is so old I don't know if it would work with modern OS/s.
Much better to download the HIRENS ISO CD and use the tools on there.

why not try the latest available as a trial https://www.symantec.com/en/uk/products/threat-protection/endpoint-management/ghost-solutions-suite

This is an interesting point, whilst Ghost was the standard it was also a proprietary format. Year down the line it may become difficult to read it in this format.

I'd grab a copy of Ghost Explorer whilst you can, it should be a free download and allows you to mount the files and explorer and copy files out of them. Even to convert to a vmdk you still need the Ghost software as far as I know
