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

[netsurfer802]

I need help on restoring a Ghost image that was backed up on
a set of CDs. First I backed up the first partition to 4 CD-Rs
....and
also the whole drive to 8 CD-Rs.

At first I was doing an integrity check and it ran into a problem at
the ending of the second of the 4 CD-Rs. I kept trying to reboot to
Windows but it wasn't working. Also, I don't know if this messed
anything up but it gave me the option of removing the Virtual Disk
Partition, and I did. Then it was asking where the command
interpreter was.

With both images--image of 4 CD-Rs and 8 CD-Rs--after putting in the
second CD-R it gives a Ghost compression error. I've been booting
with an MS-DOS disk that has CD-ROM driver support and then using a
Ghost disk.

On the second CD-R it had me back up the error to the floppy drive A
as a text file. The text file read as shown below. The computer has
Windows 98, with about a 10 Gig Hard Drive. Please, please advice as
this is a problem at work:

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?
