But the CD has a variety of formats, different kinds of CDs have different place, when you face all kinds of complex situations, you can choose the most appropriate way to deal with it? After reading my article, you will be familiar with the disc burning, natural and comfortable.

When it comes to Apple burning, we have to talk about toast, the bread machine we used to talk about, it's the most widely used burning software on Apple now, and this article takes toast as an example to talk about its setting and use. Of course, toast is not a panacea, although it is also constantly improving and upgrading, in the article you will also see in some special circumstances we use other software.

Apple's most commonly used discs are the five types, Mac Volume (ie, apple volume format), Mac files & Folders (ie, Apple file and folder format), ISO 9660 (that is, PC format), Mac/iso Hybrid (that is, Apple/pc mixed format), As well as audio-visual format (including VCD and CD-ROM), for everyone in addition to the DVD we have access to the various types of optical discs, then what is the difference between them, and how to burn it? Please listen to me slowly

1.MAC Volume format CD: Mainly used for system CD burning. It treats the disc as if it were the same as our hard disk, so you can start your Mac with a CD of this format. For disc burning in this format, we give an example of a system disk burn. The general burning system disk, are required to engrave, is the original system disk into the optical drive, the CDR into the burner, and then choose the MAC volume format, select the original system disk as the source file, and then burn. This is very high demand for the original disk, if there are scratches or dirty points will affect the optical drive reading data accuracy and time, resulting in the speed of reading files less than the speed of burning files, so that the burn failed, which is why the system is easy to engrave one of the reasons. In addition, the MAC volume must select the bootable (bootable) option, the machine will be able to boot from the CD normal, which is the system disc easily carved the reason for the bad. So how should the system disk be carved? The safest way to do this is to create an image of the original system disk and then carve it from the image. But if the original disk quality is not good, from the original disk to build the image is also very difficult, we have a better way. First, create a new image file with software such as diskcopy (Apple's own software) the image should be equal to the size of the original disk or slightly larger, the name can be called Mac OS or something (hehe ~ See your preferences), of course, you can also add your favorite icon, Then drag all the files in the original system disk into the image, so that if the file is not readable and can be copied separately, it will not be a problem. After the copy is over, your image file is the image of the system, you can use this file to burn the system CD, as long as you do not forget to choose bootable on the line. In this way, you can also customize your startup CD. In fact, as long as the system folder on the system CD can be started, the other content we can choose, such as the Norton and WD into a Startup disk (Norton running needs to be included in the functional extension of the Norton Shared Lib file), it is very convenient. MAC volume format of the set also has an option called autostart (that is, automatic operation), if you choose this setting, the software will require you to specify the automatic operation of the file, engraved well, when the disk into the CD-ROM drive, you can automatically run the files you set, very cool Oh ~

2.MAC Files & folders format CD: Mainly used for Apple data backup, is the most commonly used format, is the CD as one of our folders to treat. There are no special settings for this format.
