I ran Ghost 12 for several years, purchased in 2007. It was set to backup C:/ to a second physical drive - but by late last year the second drive was full. In Feb this year I purchased a new terabyte drive to act as my second hdd and restarted the Ghost backups.
A few weeks back my main disc drive died but I am left with 2 files in 'Norton Backups' on my second drive, one of which is 200GB so I am assuming that that is my backed up data - it is referred to as a 'Symantec Image file' by . The second small file is a 'Symantec Recovery Environment File'. Both dated March 29th which sounds right about the time I installed the new second drive.
I have now restored an O/S (XP) and installed the trial version of Ghost 15 (which I will purchase if this goes well). Ghost recognises the Environment File and seems all ready to restore my data however it prompts for the Symantec Recovery Disk which I cannot find.
So:
1) How do I obtain a new Symantec Recovery Disk ISO and which version do I need - 12 or 15??
2) How best to proceed to restore files? Not really concerned about the System files but there are some large data files we would like back! Do I carry out a 'Custom Recovery Disk' procedure?
Many thanks for any help
