Ghost questions

I have couple of questions about Norton Ghost

1. I have created an image of a partition of my HD which contained about 30Gig of data, the resulting image was around 20Gig in size is this normal I thought it would have been alot smaller?

2. When I use Ghost Explorer to browse my image file my own 'My Documents' folder on the image is empty, why is this when my wifes 'My Documents' folder shows all the files.

3. My Ghost image consists of about 10 ghost spanned files all around 2.2Gig in size, is there any way I can make it just one file or does Ghost always span at 2.2Gig.

Sorry for so many questions but if anybody can help with any of them it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

1. That compression ratio is not out of the ordinary; what were you expecting?

2. That doesn't sound like a problem with Ghost, but with your Windows setup. Are you saving documents to her folder?

3. 2.2 gigs is the filesize limit for FAT32. It has nothing to do with Ghost. If you store an image on a FAT32 drive, the image files can be no larger than that.
