Convert Ghost Image To Vmware Iso CD Images

I know that you can link virtual machine and VMware to iso CD images.

If there is some way to convert them into actual virtual machines, then even better.

Its great at creating virtual images of existing PCs, but I have images I need to convert.

But there exists a small program from Symantec (Ghost explorer) that you can see and extract an image made from ghost.

As far as the microsoft work around its kinda annoying, but it can be done.

You use ghost to capture the snapshot of the drive to your.gho file.

Used ghost to create a bootable diskette.

Get a full copy of WinISO and create a bootable CD using the ghost bootable diskette youve made.

Next copy the.gho file into the Bootable cd iso you made with WinISO.

Restore the image within vmware with somethin like Live state recovery desktop which can restore a ghost image to different hardware or virtual machine.

You also need to ave compatiable HALs though that is not as critical to the VM as it is to a real system.

You can also do this in reverse, capture your vm with ghost and deply it to a rela machine.

Thanks Ashley Theres a plugin specifically created to import ghosted images into a virtual machine.
