The format is El Torito. > Hopefully someone will be along in a moment with the > answer for Macs. It would be nice to find a website with a step by step process for creating a bootable Mac CD with examples for various System and Mac OS versions. Need to know _exactly_ what the requirements are, what can/can't be in the System Folder etc. I made a stack of coasters trying with Toast and NeroMax to create a bootable OS 8.5 CD. :P Just having a System Folder that'll boot when on a hard drive or Zip or even copied from a working bootable CD and checking the Bootable box in Toast or NeroMax isn't enough. ===== "When you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
