bwana Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 I am trying to make a troubleshooting dvd for my mac. On it will be a copy of Leopard 10.5 and some diskutilities, network apps, decryption apps. I made the image for Leopard-it's HUGE->7.6 gb. I added the other mac apps i want. Trouble is, my mac does not have a dual layer burner. Soooo, i transferred the iso to my pc which has the LG dual layer burner (GSA-62N). I burned the image with imgBurn 2.4 and i got a dvd with 421 meg and boot camp on it. The mac osX partition is invisible. Putting this into my mac only causes the mac to vomit the disc out again. That is an expensive coaster. How do i burn my mac iso on a windows pc so the mac can read it?
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 You can only burn an ISO in Write mode. If you did that and it didn't work then there's nothing you can do to fix it. When you load the image what exactly does ImgBurn say in the little 'Source' box? Does the 'Size' match up with the real size of the ISO? Do you have the log of you burning the disc? (Help menu -> ImgBurn Logs)

(Help menu -> ImgBurn Logs) indeeed the new imgburn is really noob-proof. the 'E-Z' picker shows 'Write image file to disc'. selecting the right image shows name in the source box 'osx-leopard105.iso' the log is reproduced below: 13:52:46 ImgBurn Version 2.4.0.0 started! I 13:52:46 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 13:52:46 Total Physical Memory: 3,406,860 KB - Available: 2,805,300 KB I 13:52:46 Initialising SPTI...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 I 14:01:10 Source File Size: 8,056,201,216 bytes Is that size correct if you check the properties on the actual file? Open the burnt disc in IsoBuster and compare it to the image file in the same program. Is everything there in both?
