Extension conflict - Toast Reader is not compatible with FWB's HDT which shipped with some non-Apple ROM'd CD-ROMs. Intech's CD driver is compatible with Toast's. >I seem to recall being able to successfully make boot CDs on my 7300 (which >does not use CD-ROM ToolKit� Extension as does my 7600 to which the burner >is now attached).

To make bootable CDs chose 'Mac Volume' in Toast (won't work with ISO-9660 format) and drag your system folder to the compilation. Enable "make bootable" and check to see if the system folder is "blessed" before burning the CD. This places system files at the root directory so they can be easliy be found and read by the CD drive. Charlie -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
