It's supposedly possible, yet I've consistently failed to create one with Toast or Nero MAX running on a real Mac or on the Basilisk II emulator. I've copied existing CD-ROMs that are bootable and the copies will boot, but copying the System Folder from a bootable CD to an image, adding my own files (not into the System Folder!) and checking the "bootable" option in Toast or Nero has never created a bootable CD for me. :P A very neat thing you can do with Basilisk II is enable the "My Computer" option which places an icon on the Mac desktop through which you have direct access to your host's drives that you have selected in the Basilisk II GUI. :) Then you can make a Disk Copy image directly into the host's drive. Then you can use Nero Burning ROM (on windows) to burn the Disk Copy image to CD-R. Click File> Burn Image. Select All Files in the droplist and be sure to check the HFS box. The Disk Copy image must be small enough to fit your blank CD and MUST BE READ ONLY *not* Read Only Compressed. ===== "Work it harder make it better do it faster makes us stronger.
