Norton Ghost Explorer for Mac?

Tolstoy,
I have the same problem as you, but with a greater motivator: my wife needs files from our recently defunct PC which I have on a Ghost backup but cannot access.
Apple help suggested 'MovetoMac' software but I have yet to findd it.

Michael,

After i picked myself up from the floor after I saw your user icon, I clicked the + button a couple of times! Very nice how the sad mac becomes a happy mac!

Michael,

Is that also the right program to resize photos to the 36x36 limitation?

Say yes and you get one bonus + 🙂

Jan,

Photoshop and ImageReady are the two major parts of the same application.

I usually resize artwork I've created with Photoshop, then if it's a gif switch to ImageReady to setup the frame sequence and save an optimized version.

If I'm creating a small jpeg I save from PS then I open it with Preview and save as to the jpeg to get the file size down. The limit is 36x36 and 10K.

Yes. PhotoShop would work too if you have it.

But you can do it with the tools built-in to Tiger. I wrote an Automator application for my sister to put pictures on eBay and modified it for these forums. (Scale Picture for Apple Discussions.app) You're welcome to use it if you want:

My Public iDisk Folder

edit: My bad. The Automator app doesn't make sure the filesize is not > 10kb. I will see if I can fix that.

You can make to ghost file visable with various utilities including Cocktail. To get into it and use it as a HD or Disk Image is another. The files are coded as PC and must have a corresponding Mac app to read it, e.g.: Microsoft
Word PC/Mac; FreeHand or Illustrator PC/Mac. These are examples of files that have exchange capabilities. Dave or Timbuktu will translate PC to Mac. There are file translaters and you will have to find one. I use Virtual PC w/Window XP Pro. If you have a PC ( a friends or your own) you can save or convert the files to a "Mac friendly" file such as RTF, Word and etc. Burn a 'PC format' CD of the files or use ethernet to transport the file to a PC and back to Mac. A Mac will instantly connect w/PC's and a with a little tweaking, so will a PC. I've done this before.
Best Regards

Sorry, to answer your original question, a Mac has a 'Ghost Explorer' you mentioned built into the Finder. Go to the Desktop/Finder/Go/Go to Folder/ and type the path to the file. Invisible files or folders will become visable in this manner - not permanantly visable, though. You must type the path as exampled: hard drive name/folder/file or subfolder. Good Luck

EDIT BTW, I don't have any idea of whether or not this will do it; just giving you the link.

Virtual PC may be one way. Not cheap but I don't think there is anything written for the Mac that can retrieve data from thoses images.

Glad you like it!

I admit I found it over on http://www.appletalk.com.au, resized it via Adobe ImageReady to fit the Apple forum guidelines.

Thanks for the +'s.

Lee,

Thank you for your reply. I don't have photoshop, but Michael provided a solution.

Thanks anyway,

JJ
