About exploring recovery points
You can use Norton Ghost to explore files in a recovery point by assigning it a
drive letter that is visible from Windows Explorer.
You can perform the following tasks on the assigned drive:
■ Run ScanDisk (or CHKDSK)
■ Perform a virus check
■ Copy folders or files to an alternate location
■ View disk information about the drive such as used space and free space
■ You can also run simple, executable programs that exist within the mounted
recovery point.
