It's a .WiM file (ends with M).

We really can't see your images because they are to small.  Can you attach them again and make them full size?

If the screen shot on the right shows the contents of the recovery partition, the .wim file may be located in a folder called "Sources"

The .wim is in the DELLRESTORE partition. You don't need to see it. The booting files are in this partition too.

This was written for Vista.

Thank you Brian, I went to the link you provided, went through the first step. When it booted with the install disk the following error appeared,

   "STOP: 0X0000007B (0xF78d2524,0XC0000034,0X00000000, 0X00000000).

Did I do something wrong??

A 7B stop error is usually due to missing storage controller drivers. Did this happen with the Windows CD or the Ghost CD?

Edit ....    which OS are you using?

[DaveH]

Looks like  Dell with an 80GB hard drive running XP.

It also looks like Ghost is or was installed, it has a "VproRecovery" folder sitting on the C drive.

What kind of disk did you use to boot the system when you got that error, XP, Vista, or other?

Your restore partition has a drive letter, can you open the drive and see whats in it?

Good thought. It might be a .gho file.

Thanks Dave, yes you are right!  It is a Dell 80gb and running XP Media Center.  There is a VPro on C: and Recovery drive E:

The Disk I used to try the Boot was Media Center-disk 1.  The restore drive is E:.

See attachments for both drivers.

Thank you again!!

Thank you Brian,  I Booted with my Windows CD, XP Media Center-Disk 1.  However it is not a restore disk, it's a OEM Full.

The 7B stop error happened when I Booted with XP Media disk.

Thanks again!!

rj,

This may apply to you if there is a .gho in the DellRestore partition. It should be called   fi.gho  (in the img folder)
