G4 no, G3, yes and every Mac before that, it's an original OS 9.0 CD, bought it for and used it on my 4400/200. Now using it on my B&W, updated to 9.2.2. > (3) Are you using HFS or HFS+? Dunno, just imaged the CD, so it should be the same format as it was. IIRC all CDs are HFS, not HFS+. > (4) Why are you mounting with Toast 4.x? Because actually I always use 4.x to burn a bootable CD. > I would avoid using too many > different programs and versions on the image. I agree, that's what I'm thinking too. > (5) Have you disabled Apple's Disk Burner software on the G4s?

Yeah, that's what I could do, but if it didn't work, it means that either the Sony CRX140E in the G4 DA, or the SuperDrive (Pioneer A04) in the QS G4, can't burn a bootable CD?!?! > (7) Try using CD-RWs until you get the formula right (save yourself from > burning too many coasters).

I think it's probably me screwing up the image, because I have burned bootable CDs on the G4 DA. Haven't done that on the QS G4 so first I'll try to disable the Disk Burner s/w. Off to get some CD-RWs.
