I am trying to convert a Ghost image file (.gho) to a VMware disk image file (.vdmk). I am using this command:

ghost32 -clone,mode=restore,src=my.gho,dst=myimage.vmdk -batch -sure

I get the following error:

'Ghost32' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I think I must go to location of image first, and then convert file but I don't know how.

    ghost32 is not in your path statement. locate the actually ghost32.exe file. for example c:\folder\subfolder\ghost32.exe and then the rest.

As you see, the command Ghost32 is not recognized.

What does that mean?
That means, that in your path, the application ghost32 couldn't be found.

So you have to change to the right directory. To do that, just type in:

cd C:/Path/To/The/Ghost32.exe

cd means change directory.
