Issues to be aware of when burning Mac OS system discs

A lot of friends. There are some problems in burning the Mac OS system disc, this article briefly describes the issues that need attention in the Mac OS system disc burning.

Like some friends. The Mac OS disc image file shown in the burn software is small, with UltraISO to open the Mac OS 10.5.5 image file, although the file is complete, but the file size is small, only 204KB, and the burned CD file is shown in Windows just as small.

In fact, this is not an image file has a problem, nor is it burning the problem, please note that the CD-ROM directory type is "Hybrid/iso", the format of the CD-ROM is divided into two areas to treat, one area is the Apple volume format, the other area is the use of the PC ISO 9660 format This type of disc is used on one platform and does not see a file in another format, so there is a small display of the upper capacity, while the CD data displayed in Mac OS is above 4GB.

MAC OS disc images typically have two formats, one in the ISO format and one in the DMG format. If it is in the ISO format, simply turn on the UltraISO (or Nero and other CD burning software) and burn on the flat-time record image file.

Tip: Note that it must be a way to burn the image file instead of using the burn data disk directly. In addition, the MAC OS's ISO image file is generally large, even after a streamlined, generally more than 4.3GB, close to the limit of DVD-R burning disk, so be sure to choose a better quality DVD burning disc burning, or use D9 burning disk burning, otherwise there may be data can not accommodate the situation.

If the image file is in the DMG format (typically the original Mac OS image is in this format), the file in this format is best recorded in Mac OS. After the Mac OS starts, insert a blank burn disk, start Disk utility, then go to burn, select the DMG image file to burn. Another way to do that is to burn it with a toast (toaster) in Mac OS, toast the equivalent of Nero under Windows, a very classic burning software under Mac OS, similar to the way Nero was burned.
