Default Problems with a FujiFilm CDR

Hi-

I decided to back up my C: drive using Norton Ghost 2003. I saved
the image to 5 FujiFilm CDRs. Before I was done, I inspected
all of the discs, and #2 seemed to have a visible media flaw -
somewhat of a small shiny area about 4 mm from the outer edge.
I don't see any bump on the label side. The disc is a FujiFilm
color CDR - made in Japan (TY?) - a sticker on the label said
40X. My CD-RW is rated at 12X write.

I tried copying disc #2 using Roxio Disc Copier, but it would always
bomb due to an early read error (less than 10% into the disc). It
doesn't sound like it's getting to the point where I see the surface
flaw. I don't know if it just has problems copying a Ghost CD or if
there really is a problem with the disc.

Are there any means of verifying that the CDR has no errors? I'm
running Windows ME, and I do have Norton SystemWorks 2003. I couldn't
find anything that would allow me to verify a CDR for errors.

At the worst, I could just redo the image. I've got plenty of
blank CDRs.
