Bad Magic error 10024

Hi,

I know this is an old error, but I have only ran into it now and cannot find a way around it. Using ghost32.exe v11.5.1.2266 - I created a GHO image spanning over 23 GHS files. I deleted a couple of files using ghost explorer and then it seemed the image was corrupt when trying to restore the image to a drive. It said it is not a valid image file. After doing some checks I managed to "fix" the header to a point that it now sees it as an image and reports the data size correctly, etc, but when the clone from image starts it immediately stops with application error 10024. When doing intergrity check it shows - Bad Image header expecting type:4(412). Error log shows error 10024, Bad Magic.

Please help, I don't want to lose data.

Thanks.
