As Thomas Wendell suggested, run ntfsdos to make your NTFS
partitions visible. This should enable you to locate your Ghost

Personally I do not think that image files should be stored on
the PC's working disk. It defies the purpose of creating images.
I store all my images on removeable disks. This is much, much
safer.
