Trying to use Norton Ghost

I have taken one of my computers and created an image file that spans across 8 cd's. I did that with Norton Ghost and had no problems at all.
I now want to take my other computer and load this image file on. I deleted all partitions on the new computer and I boot up into Norton Ghost from the boot disk I created. When I select my source, it does not seem to display my cd-rom which contains not only the boot disk info, but the start of the image file as well.
I get an error saying there is a write problem with the disk. Anybody have an idea? Sorry, didn't know which forum this belonged in.
