Restarting your computer from the Virtual Partition

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.
