The bootable ISO is particularly useful when:

✅ Why version 11? Ghost 11.5 introduced a different file format (.v2i) and more network features, but Ghost 11.0.2 is often preferred for its simplicity, speed, and compatibility with FAT32/NTFS. Boot from your CD or USB

Use isoinfo (Linux) or 7-Zip + Imgburn (Windows) to inspect:

isoinfo -d -i Norton_Ghost_11_Bootable.iso

Look for:

Alternatively, mount the ISO or test in a virtual machine (e.g., VirtualBox). A valid boot will show the Symantec Ghost startup menu (DOS-based).

If you are verifying the integrity of the file or looking for the specific "Volume Label" (the name that appears when you burn the CD or mount the ISO), it is usually:
