Greetings,
I know your frustration with the Ghost images. I have had several go bad. And Symantec seems clueless as to how to fix the problems with corrupt images.
There is a program that you can use to 'see' your Windows XP NTFS system tho. It is called BartPE. Here is the URL:

This program will allow you to download and ISO image and create a boot CD. The boot cd IS Windows. So it will read and write NTFS file systems.
(I have tried Knoppix and it works to 'see' the drive but since it is Linux you will surely corrupt your hard drive by using it to write to the file system.)
I know this is several months after you had the problem so you have probably restored the hard drive by now. But this CD is invaluable for the future. It will not do anything about the corrupt Ghost images. But it wil allow you to see the Windows files when your computer won't boot unless the hard drive refuses to spin.
Also, there are some 'plugins' available for this that will allow you to run Ghost 8 from the CD but you should have a registered version of Ghost to install that.
Hope this helps someone.
David
