Calm down, would ya. Somebody asked how to hack (burn) a bootable CD. Somebody else said they had made 10 coasters, trying to do it. I just explained how I do it, which is how the manual says to do it, both in Toast versions 3.5 - 3.5.7, which I have, and in Toast 5 Titanium which I have. Considering I have been making bootable Mac CD's for well over 5 years and have NEVER made a coaster, I'll stand by everything I said. I said at the beginning to make a "Temporary Partition" and you eventually admitted that you do too.
I asked in my last post why you do the shift/control thing, and after dragging the system folder over, with and then without, it appears that when you don't use the two keys, it ends up being root, and when you do, it is put inside an "untitled folder" If it isn't working for me, I'll admit I don't know why it doesn't work for me. I did it exactly how the manual says (pages 19-21) and it does do it. This is with Toast 5 Titanium (5.0.2) in OS9. Frankly I don't really care as I will continue to keep burning bootable CD's. I was just hoping to learn something from someone else (in this case you) that I was not aware of. Next time, READ what I write. Since I am making bootable CD's EVERY time, I'm not doing it wrong. So the system is obviously bootable. I'm currently using versions 3.5.7 and 5.0.2 (Titanium) Oh, I've read the manual, a number of times. No luck involved. If I sound a bit peeved, I am, since you did NOT read what I wrote. To me this is just a misunderstanding, and that happens sometimes if the people can't physically see what's going on. To fellow listers, if this exchange has bothered you, I apologize. No hard feelings on this end. STeve - I wish I could afford to shop at Nordstroms ;-) << you're mixing the two up. For standard size files, just highlight the file (including the bootable system file) with cntrl/shft, and while holding those keys down, drag them to the data burn window. I don't care about various command alternatives, this works in 5+. If it isn't working for you you are doing something wrong or the system you are trying to burn is either not bootable or somehow being read as not bootable, or you have a different version of toast. READ your manual. Contact roxio and report your problems there as well. As for files larger than a cd, what I'm suggesting is that you have to figure out how to make compressed disk images of every thing but the system, burn them with a valid uncompressed system file and some kind of expander, to fit everything on the alotted space Good luck. I have to go to nordstrom's now >> -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
