The .GHO file format is used by Norton Ghost, a disk cloning application by Symantec.

This application is used to create an exact copy of a disk (for example your primary hard-drive) or a selection of files, which can later be restored making it ideal for data recovery or a useful tool for restoring your computer to a previous version.

Ghost can also encrypt your backups to ensure they're kept safe.

You'll have to use Norton Ghost to restore these files.

A friend gave me his computer along with discs to completely restore Windows XP. When I put in the first disc a Symantec Ghost 7.0 window comes up, inside that window it says ERROR cannot open R:T4155.GHO (T4155 is the e machines computer number). When I hit enter it comes up Cannot open GHOSTERR.TXT, then Application Error 11000 Invalid Dump File. What can I do to completely restore?

It is not uncommon for CD media to go corrupt causing the "cannot read x file" message. Normally you want to choose local->disk->from image to do a restore. You then browse to the gho file on your CD/DVD drive. If the image was made correctly it should ask for the next disk when the first file is finished restoring.
Finally you choose the hard drive you want to overwrite.

You can also restore the image from a USB hard drive, but note that if you do this from a DOS ghost boot disk, you will only get USB 1.1 speeds. Creating a WINPE disk is the best way to restore images from an external hard drive. Unfortunately it's a pain to make on and MS won't let people host iso disk images.

The error you get that says it cannot write the log file is because ghost is running from a CD/DVD that isn't writeable. It cannot open a log file so it just errors. You can change the log file location, but this has to be a flash drive or hard drive with write access. Usually the on screen error is all the information you need so the log file is generally useless.
