From: ronald.phillips on 10 Feb 2006 21:50 I think Vmware 5.5 can directly convert Ghost images but I haven't tried it.
From: Josh Assing on 10 Feb 2006 22:38 It can convert "some" stuff. Their conversion is very finiky. I was going to jump ship to vmware; but I have too much time invested in my images, and it only converted 1 image...

(first, the conversion process ate ridiculous amounts of swap space; then, it failed with some strange error) -- Thanks, Renan(tm) - Canoas, RS, Brazil "Smoking: a foul disease.

pardon me, what format does vdisk.exe use from Ghost ? does it use the ms vhd format? USAGE: vdisk <boot sector file> <directory> <image file> < Creates an image file for use with PXE or RIS systems "morin" <morin(a)nomails.com> wrote in message news:eUhcrkFMGHA.2276(a)TK2MSFTNGP15.phx.gbl... > when i tried this the norton boot CD (ghost9) did not recongnize my linked > vhd as available partition for the source files. > can it be configured in any way to recognize it? > strange. > > > "Josh Assing" <XjoshX(a)jAssing.com> wrote in message > news:buppu1ljkr1pm17tnru6jr9vtfcght1rh2(a)4ax.com... >> >> Kinda round about >> 1) Look at winimage >> 2) boot your vpc image with a new hard drive (empty) the gho on a cd, and >> a >> ghostboot floppy -- then restore the gho to the vhd... >> >> >> >> On Fri, 10 Feb 2006 07:26:28 -0800, Jordan >> <Jordan(a)discussions.microsoft.com> >> wrote: >> >>>Is there a way or a plan to be able to directly convert a .GHO (Ghost) >>>File >>>into a .VHD (VPC HD)? >>> >>>We have multiple images that are mid, or pre sysprep that we store on >>>.gho >>>files.
