There's nothing about Windows 7 that wasn't in Vista, in fact, it's just that the split-load method which Windows 7 installations tend to want to use do was not the install default for Vista (in Vista, splitloading was only really used for Bitlocker installations).īasically, the work for this lives in the restore side, in the adjustments made to ensure that the system is still bootable generating a new MBR disk signature if a disk restore is being performed and replacing the volume mounts stored in the restored system's registry to reflect this, along with BOOT.INI adjustments in versions of NT prior to Vista, or BCD edits for Vista/Win7 (along with the other bits and bobs Ghost has always done to adapt changes in volume size and disk geometry).
That's actually not accurate the changes for Windows 7 support were absolutely microscopic, and didn't involve the image format.

You may have to gather some drivers (although Win 7 is pretty good at finding them using Windows update) but it's going to be a lot quicker than trying to use the Ghost image without a current Ghost environment.įinally, if the image was created using Norton Ghost then this happens to be a different product to Ghost Solution Suite.ĭepending on the version of Ghost used by the creator of your Win 7 image, it may not be a viable image either Get a normal Windows 7 installation disk and install that instead. can image Win 7 successfully, and again, there are two partitions that need to be captured, not just one.ĭon't waste your time.

As Nigel indicated, converting it to an ISO would not be straightforward and would not achieve your objective either, as it would not create an installable image in the way that a Windows 7 installation iso is written.ĭepending on the version of Ghost used by the creator of your Win 7 image, it may not be a viable image either. Given the readily availability of third-party tools to work with ISO images and larger drive capacities, it's probably best to build a base ISO with the GBW and then use that as a template for mastering new ISOs which contain the desired image, given that dual-layer and Blu-Ray media are preferable for modern image sizes.Īn iso is not going to make it possible to install an image in any way I can imagine.Ī ghost image is a recording of the contents of sectors on the hard disk plus additional information about the partition.

In 2009 around the time Symantec shut down active development of Ghost, I had rewritten all the optical-disk code in the GBW to remove all the hard-coded limits and add full support for dual-layer DVD and all types of Blu-Ray media however, that work was done in the Ghost Solution Suite 3.0 code line and was too complex to backport to GSS 2.5 because the optical disk code in GBW was shared with Ghost (let along the fact that we no longer had any staff or budget to effectively QA it). The current editions of GBW contains a number of hard limits on the size of ISO 9660 filesystem it will build, along with limits on the types of media it supports it's not possible to use the full capacity of even a dual-layer DVD, let alone a Blu-Ray drive. In practice, the currently available versions of the GBW are limited, because of the extreme age and poor design of the optical disk code in it. GHO in an ISO image along with Ghost, then there's a tool for that in Ghost Solution Suite, the Ghost Boot Wizard. GHO images are designed to preserve, and therefore if you want to perform such a format conversion then it's up to you to work through those differences in capabilities to determine what you want to happen. The ISO 9660 and UDF filesystems don't have many of the capabilities of NTFS/ext3/etc which. GHO to a ISO, that's not easily possible because the semantics of the two don't really line up very well. If you mean to simply convert the content inside a.
