Hello,
The commissionning engineer/ALSTOM, had left us a CD-ROM containing one file : system.gho

He told us that if we have a problem with the PC, which using the display for ALLEN BRADLEY PLC5
It is possible to restore all the drive D: with this file : system.gho

This PC has the drive C: and the drive D:
I tried to restore it , but not possible,
Can i restore the D: in another PC ?
What are the requirements?

This project is the PLC AB 5 TA1750
THANK YOU VERY MUCH

 

Yes, it is possible to restore the drive using that one file, if you have the right software. Files with '.gho' are created using
Norton/Symantec's software called Ghost. To recover the file, you also need the Ghost software.

This software creates a compressed image of the entire drive. Earlier versions of Ghost only allowed to restore the entire drive, however I
believe (and I may be mistaken on this) that the latest Ghost software allows individual file or directory recovery.

Believe that the gho file is a NORTON ghost file. Ghost backs up the drive in a single file for distribution or otherwise. Get a copy of the web for eval to look inside the file.
