I am trying to write data files. The PC Recovery program for Compaq computers
only writes a bootable recovery disc nothing more. Norton Ghost only wries a
Disc recovery image. Any more questions?
Ghost 2003 can check the itegrity of it's backups, from the manual:

Setting the image integrity check default
You can set a default option for Norton Ghost to perform an integrity check of an
image file after it has been created and before it is restored.
Some CD-RW drives eject a CD once an image has been saved to it. If this is
preventing the integrity check, then ensure that this option is not selected, and
perform an integrity check using the Image Integrity Check Wizard.
See “Checking the integrity of an image file†on page 58. (See Below)
To set Norton Ghost to perform an integrity check on an image file
1 In the Ghost Basic window, click Options.
2 In the Norton Ghost 2003 Options dialog box, click Image Integrity check.
3 Check Always perform an image integrity check to set the default.
4 Click OK.
Checking the integrity of an image file
You can check the integrity of a Ghost image file. An integrity check ensures that
the data read from the image file is the same as the data written to the image file.
Norton Ghost performs a dummy restore of the image file. It does not check that the
data on the disk is the same as the data in the image file.
To check the integrity of an image file
1 In the Ghost Basic window, click Ghost Advanced, and then click Image Integrity
Check.
2 Click Next.
3 In the Create Image Integrity Check Wizard window, click Browse and find the image
file that you want to verify.
4 If you want to view the contents of the image file in Ghost Explorer, click
Open image in Ghost Explorer.
See “Viewing image files†on page 119.
5 Click Next.
6 If you want to set advanced settings for the verification, then click Advanced
Settings.
See “Adding command-line switches to a task†on page 47.
7 Click Next.
8 In the Important Information dialog box, if you do not want to view this warning
again, click Don’t show this screen again, and then click Next.
9 Click Run Now to start the image verification.
