Dear Tom,
Well, it depends...
Are you using Toast 2.0.x, 3.0.x, or 3.5.x?
Also, it depends on how you create the image. Personally, since hard
drives are so inexpensive, I create (for Mac-only CD's) a soft partition
where I load up the files, then delete the Desktop files (with TechTool),
then run Norton Disk Doctor to fix bundle bits.
I've found that dragging and dropping folders for Mac-only CD's can cause
problems. I also *never* check off "Don't copy free space." FWB's CD/ROM
Toolkit returns an error message when you do this, and this was the tip-off
for mounting problems.
Cheers!
Dan
