Burning with Nero, it wants to make Image files instead of burning and then the CD reads CDR00007.GHO and then a second click on the file brings this message
"Ghost span extent file-Please load the base ghost image file"
any idea what this means and why I'm not going on to burn the CD? I had to load in the old adaptec software to make the CD...Which it did and took 30 minutes to burn less than 600 mbytes....Burn was okey but not up to the Nero speed.....
Yes, of course it says "image record"....I knew that!! I was just testing to see if you knew it Dr.
Now, Hmmmm, let's see, what else shall I do wrong tonight ......??Still, I would like to know what the other message was all about....the "ghost span extent file-please load the base ghost image file" That came up as a separate issue .....CDR00007.GHO. I know that's got to be some sort of Ghost archive thing???
Also Nero burns a hellofalot faster than Adaptec. About 10 minutes for nearly 650 mbytes...uh, that is, after I fixed the burn preferences.......
A .GHO file is the first file you get when ghosting an image of a partition or disk, they are usually 1.99GB. WHen you are using the "-span=" parameter on the Ghost floppy disc, you get an initial .GHO file, then each succeeding spanned file is a .GHS file, they are consecutively numbered if you have the autoname option checked, it probably uses the DOS 8+3 naming system. That is just a guess. If I click on a .GHS file, I get the "Open With" box, choosing ghostpe.exe gives you an error about Ghost not running on NT or the like.
How you got Ghost and Nero intertwined is nothing I have seen before, it is curious.
As proved over and over, some things only I can do...The price of being wonderful, I guess. The CD I picked up had a undocumented .GHO file on it from an earlier adventure... As others here can tell you, I have the uncanny ability to confuse myself at least once any day of the week.....And you did answer my question with info that I needed....thanks

Don't you think that's one of the best things about getting older? We can't remember what we thought we knew, so we just keep on trying to learn anyway!
