Adding, moving, and deleting files

Within image files, Ghost Explorer supports Windows cut-and-paste operations, including copying, pasting, moving, deleting, and adding files to images. You can also drag and drop from Windows Explorer to Ghost Explorer.

Listing the contents of an image file

You can create a text file that contains a list of the directories (and, optionally, files and their details) that are in the current image file. You can store this file with the image file to keep an easily accessible list of the image file contents.

To list the contents of an image file

1In Ghost Explorer, open the image file.

2On the File menu, click List Contents.

3Do one of the following:

■Click Directories only to include directories only.

■Click Include Files to include files.

■Click Include Details to include file details.

4Select a directory to which to save the text file.

5Type a file name.

6Click Save.

Setting span file sizes

Norton Ghost lets you split an image file into smaller files called spans. The Span Split Point function in Ghost Explorer lets you set the size of each span so that when you add files or directories, each span file does not get bigger than the specified size.

To set a span file size

1On the View menu, click Options.

2In the Span Split Point (MB) field, type the required size.

3Click Autoname Spans if you want Ghost Explorer to choose a default name for additional span files that it creates.
