<![CDATA[Application to open Fog images]]>Hi All,

Been using fog now for about 4 months and I love it. It has made such a difference to deploying PC’s.

My one question is, is there any application to open up an image like ghost explorer to retrieve data out of images.

Thanks
Mark

Using a tool called partclone-utils check out the link below. [url]http://sourceforge.net/projects/partclone/forums/forum/638475/topic/4603354[/url]

So when i have made my base image i boot up in windows pe, and save image as an wim file with imagex, and wim files is easy to edit, you have to have a computer with Waik installed thats all!

You are right, I use it to back up important machines and would have liked to be able to open an images to retrieve users data, like the nickname file that no-one remembers to back up.

The [URL=‘http://www.partimage.org/Partimage-FAQ’]Partimage FAQ[/URL] goes into a little more detail, but the short answer is that you need a block device driver that has never been written, or at least has not been made public if it does exist.

Is that possible?

The easiest solution is to deploy the image to a machine and make whatever changes before re-uploading.
