Jane, I have two versions of DW, the reason being the boot sector. I have had some Mac's that will boot fine under their previous version, then I have two that will only boot under their newer version. When I discovered the problem I called to find that Apple changed the location of the boot sector on the newer models or maybe it was the other way around, anyway it might be best to call to see what version you need or if they have fixed the problem with an even newer version than I have.
