I tried Norton Ghost Explorer (version 2003). I've tried the Norton Ghost recovery CD, but the.
The technician who did the encryption/imaging has since disappeared, and neither Joe (nor anyone in his company) has any idea of what software was used to create this image. gho image that he is desperate to recover.

Last November, Joe's hard drive failed with a hard crash. gho file extension and was created in September 2010. Before he did the encryption, he did a 'backup' - which generated a very large file on an external USB drive. A technician (some external contractor) came and encrypted his entire hard drive. His company mandated that if he used his personal laptop in his office, it must be encrypted. My friend Joe is in a real pickle it's a sad story.
