It would appear that you are writing the ISO image into a new ISO-9660 filesystem. This is likely what happens if you just drag and drop the image into the Toast window, it's been a while since I used Toast, so I don't really remember too well. Also, selecting ISO-9660 from the Format menu (or something like it) won't work either. You need to find the bit of Toast that says some thing like Write Image. That will do what you need. I don't remember what menu it's on though. I do however know that it is there, since I made 3.2-RELEASE, 3.3-RELEASE, 3.4-RELEASE, and will soon be making 4.0-RELEASE CD's in this manner, and all have worked fine. You might want to check to make sure your image is intact too, perhaps by using the Mount Image option of Toast. -- Chip Marshall http://www.chocobo.cx/chip/ InterNIC handle - CLM21 PGP key available on my web page On IRC via EFnet as Magus -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCM/CS d+(-) s+:++ a--- C++(+++) UB++++ P+++>$ L- E--- W++ N+(++) o K? w O M+ V- PS PE Y?
