what is the difference between a bootable dvd and a not-bootable dvd for goodness sake? why is it that even with a full os on the disk it then has do be in some way officially made bootable? what's that all about?Īnyway, before wasting many cds and dvds, is it possible to burn a bootable cd and is it possible to burn a bootable dvd with os x 10.2.8 and toast 6.1.1? I burnt a dvd from a disk image (i haven't and didn't mount the image) and all the data is on the dvd but it is not bootable - that is i've started up my machine with the dvd in the drive while holding down option and the only drive/os that appears is the one on the built in hard drive - the one on the dvd doesn't appear: therefore it looks like i and toast failed to burn a bootable dvd. Is it possible to burn a bootable CD with toast in os x? and is it possible to burn a bootable DVD with toast in os x? if so how? i remember in toast 5 there were a number of necesseties: select 'bootable' being one if memory serves - and i don't see any option like that in 6.
