Using Ghost Explorer to modify image file contents
Understanding Ghost Explorer

The Ghost Explorer utility lets you view, alter, add, and extract files from an 
image file. This means that you can add extra files to the image file, move the files 
within the image file, and extract files from the image file to copy onto client 
computers.

Note: If an image file has been created from an NTFS partition, you can view and 
extract files from the image file. You cannot add files to or delete files from the 
image file.

Ghost Explorer lets you quickly and easily extract files or directories from an 
image file. Using Ghost Explorer, you can do the following:

■

View image file contents and save a list of files within an image file.

■

Extract files or directories from an image file.

■

Add, move, copy, delete, and launch files from and within an image file.

■

Use drag-and-drop or cut-and-paste functionality to add files and directories 
from Windows Explorer to the image file.

■

Set span sizes.

■

Add a description to an image file.

Note: Right-click a file or directory in Ghost Explorer to access a list of file 
commands.
