Help!! I'm trying to restore a Ghost Image

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage (More info?)

Your integrity check failed. Unless there is an optical imperfection (dirt,
scratch) on that second CD, that you would be able to remove, there is not
much you can do. Just create another set AND RUN INTEGRITY CHECK AGAIN. That
is especially important when writing directly to CD-Rs (your experience has
proven it).
What about the other set? Did you run integrity check on those too? You have
to. Otherwise it will not be possible to restore disk/partition from that
set. If you attempt to do that, you will end up with corrupted disk and
corrupted image on CDRs, without any good backup.
I hate this image strategy. It is slow, prone to CDR related errors, costly
and manual. Why not to image to the network share?
