What's the difference between wim and gho?
What is the GHO file? GHO is a long-term popular sector-based image format.
Ghost software can generate a GHO file after backing up all the file information of the hard disk partition or the whole hard disk. GHOST XP, GHOST WIN7, etc. Our common products are all made based on this technology. GHO has the characteristics of fast backup recovery, high security and easy operation. You can use to browse, modify or extract files.
What is a WIM file? WIM is a file-based Windows image format.
Microsoft began to use WIM for system packaging from Windows Vista. WIM files can store copies of one or more operating systems, such as Windows 7 or Windows PE. Therefore, we can choose to install a certain version of WIM, such as the professional version, when using the WIN7 Extreme Edition installation CD with the directory file deleted.
WIM image format supports compression and single instance. For example, if images 1, 2 and 3 all contain file a, a single instance will store a copy of file a and point file a in images 1, 2 and 3 to the copy. This can greatly reduce the size of the image file, thus saving disk overhead.
