I use Disk Copy for copying the 10.5 install disk, which is indeed dual layer, but Toast will certainly work, too. From the Hackintosh crowd is a bunch of scripts which will remove languages and features from an install disk, and get it down to a single layer. I successfully used that script once. It was a good use for my quad core Hackintosh, as the process takes lots of CPU cycles. The DVDs are not video disks, so they don't have a region. However, a new DVD drive will have to have its "home region" set the first time you use it. Region 1 is North America (AKA, USA). The ripping tools don't care about region, but DVD Player certainly does. Anyway, try Disk Utility for making a duplicate. I always do my installs from a backup DVD, never from the original DVD media, which I keep in a "media safe" along with the license materials, etcetera. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
