Will Ghost Explorer from Norton Ghost 2003 be able to open each Filename.001, etc. file from a multi-disk back up done from Ghost 2003?
Norton Ghost Compatibility
If I understand you correctly, it sounds as though you want to open files created in Norton Ghost 2003 with the same program. As long as you are still running the same version of the program that created the files, you shouldn’t have a problem opening them. As Celeste mentioned in her original post, even if you are having a compatibility issue with your Ghost version and previously created files that were made by a different software version, you can download and install the Ghost Explorer program to access them.
