Or if you're real hard up for MacSpace you can assemble the data on a HFV file on your PC using Basilisk II then burn the HFV file to CD-R using Nero Burning ROM. :) I still haven't managed to burn a bootable Mac CD-R using a System folder from a CD that will boot. So far the only way I've been able to make a bootable CD has been to assemble the files on a hard drive smaller than a CD then plug it into my PC and burn the volume with Nero. I've tried Tost 5 and Nero MAX with the "bootable" checkboxes checked but never has a Real Mac that can boot from that System and can boot from a CD accepted them as bootable. :P I've tried making a Toast image then dragging a System folder from an original CD that does boot then adding other files I want on it. Burn it as "bootable" but nope, won't boot! El-Torito bootable CDs are much easier. You have a bootable disk image or disk that will boot the PC. You tell the CD-R app where the boot image or disk is and by $%^#$^^# THE CD-R WILL BOOT A PC that can boot from CD-ROM!!! What do Toast 5 and Nero MAX do wrong? Which reminds me I need to see if Roxio has updated Toast recently, hopefully they've fixed it so that when there really, truly is a VALID SYSTEM FOLDER in your selected source data that it will CORRECTLY FORMAT the data so that a Mac WILL BOOT from the CD-R. :P ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
