Thanks to everyone who replied. I solve it though i was up until four in
the morning and didn't find my mistake until the next day. You have to
click on data, rather than on a menu item, it seems, to get the Bootable
line under Data, and specify that you want a bootable copy. I had done it
about a year ago, but forgotten, since I was using Toast for burning tapes
int C.D.'s and an occasional music disk. What threw me is that the
Matashita did not want to read a data disk with the Plextor connected to
the SCSI chain. It would read music CD's fine, but not Disk Warrior or
Norton. You had to disconect the Plextor which I had on the Fast SCSI
connection through an external connector. When I brought the Plextor over
to my other S-900 which has an Apple CD drive, there was no problem once I
discovered the bootable option by clicking on data. Where is the "copy"
command that stores a disk in the buffer, and do you have to create the
buffer? I don't have virtual memory on. The music videos made using the
Plextor as a reader are so superior to the Matushita that there is no
question of using the latter but the problem hasn't arisen because I always
rip the tracks as AIFF.
Any advice on the new Yamaha versus Plextor firewire CDRW? I am
slowly leaning away from SCSI having just ruined my last Syjet, in yanking
drives in out trying to burn that CDRW--very sad. I had grown attached to
it as a fast backup. Does anyone, by the way, have an experience with the
Mount Ranier software that promised to let one rewrite on a Cd with the
ease of a Zip?
