norton ghost problem

cheffy · Sep 15, 2002, 02:32 PM

my dad's 45gig windows xp ntfs hard drive died a few days ago.. and i had made a norton ghost backup of it a month ago

so i started to load the backup on his computer after dell came to replace the harddrive and on disk 10 of 12 it came up with error "25002" which turns out to be an invalid mft(btw this is ghost '02)

my question is: is there any way to salvage the crucial info from these disks

my dad has importent client information on probally disk 12 cause he is a cpa (cause the directory is C:\wfx i think) and has some importent info on some of the disks that loaded also... is there any sort of program that will let me get this data off the .GHO files(the norton ghost files) or my second HDD(i also loaded the first ten disks of the image to there) with the MFT totally messed up? i dont care if it costs money... this will take us hundreds of hours to retype otherwise

well the only to it really would find some program that extract the .gho extension and not be ghost because scans the data and looks for errors. you need to find a program that just extracts the data and not search for errors
