I need a solution

On Panasonic CF-31 Toughbook with Windows 7 64-bit SP1, booted up from DVD with bootable Symantec Ghost 11.5.1 disk.  Created Ghost image of Toughbook hard drive (resulting in 2 DVDs), and tested image on a Ghost restore ("from image") successfully.  The Toughbook is delivered to the customer with this Ghost image on two DVDs, along with a bootable DVD containing Ghost 11.5.1.  They plan to use Ghost to restore the OS if needed.  This is non-negotiable for them.  Therefore, in case replacement disks are ever needed, we plan to store the contents of the Ghost image DVDs on a hard drive, to be used to create new DVDs.  We copied the .gho files from the DVDs onto a PC (keeping them separated into "Disk 1" and "Disk 2").  Then we burned the .gho files onto two new DVDs and attempted a Ghost restore from these DVDs onto a Toughbook.  We immediately get the error "The current disk is not the first in the set".  It definitely IS the first disk.  Tried to do a "Check Image File" with Ghost, same error.  Also tried making .iso copies of the two image DVDs, then burned the .iso's to new DVDs and attempted a restore.  Same error.  How do we store the Ghost image on a hard drive so that we can burn usable DVDs when needed?

Thanks.
