It probably giving that error because Macs can't read MS-DOS. Can you use the -fs option for FAT or FAT32?

It creates a .cdr (aka .iso) file with the contents of the source folder. However the resulting disk image is formatted with a HFS+ file system, so when you try to mount the .iso file on a wondws machine (or the disk made by burning it) Windows claims it's corrupted and unreadable. hdiutil has a -fs option allowing me to choose MS-DOS as the file system but trying that results in an error: mount_msdos: /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/TEST: Operation not permitted /sbin/mount failed with error 18176 However, it seems to continue to make the disk image. Anyone know why it' spitting out that error? (and before you suggest it: No Toast is not an acceptable solution, nor is using Disk Utility, this has to be managed on a regular basis by a user who just wants to stick some stuff in his windows Access database (yes, I'm writing a Mac utility to create an ISO so Access can use it in his Windows VM) -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
