Hi,
Can't see the files on a Ghost cd. Windows Explorer does show the files on a Ghost floppy.

DUH!
Because the files are in the boot sector.....Where Windows Explorer can't see them.

You don't need to see them either! Laughing Laughing Laughing

But if you feel that you must...... boot up with that CD, then type DIR at the Dos prompt and press Enter. The directory listing will be printed out on the screen.
If the list is too long to fit on your screen, you can type Dir /p to see the directory one page at a time.
As always, don't forget the space before the forward-slash P ( /p ).
