Making a Mac Volume Disc

This type of disc can be used only on a Macintosh computer and requires a

valid volume file as a data source. You can use Mac Volume to copy an

entire volume (hard disk, partition, etc.) to a disc exactly as it is. You cannot

make a bootable Mac Volume disc.

For making a simple disc to use on a Macintosh computer, use Mac Only

format. See Making a Mac Only Disc on page 43.

To make a Mac Volume disc:

1 At the left side of the Toast window, click Data and choose Mac

Vo lu m e .

Note This format option is only visible if you have selected Show

Legacy Formats and Settings in the Toast Preferences.

2 Prepare the Macintosh files and folders for the disc by doing the

following:

■

Create a temporary partition on your hard disk. See Creating a

Temporary Part ition on page 37.

■

Drag and drop files into this new temporary partition to add

them.

The Macintosh files and folders will be copied exactly to the disc,

including window sizes, positions, and View menu settings. Be sure to

prepare the volume carefully.

3 Click Select to add the Macintosh partition to the disc.

4 Choose your temporary partition from the dialog and click OK.

You can also select local disc volumes that have the comment “ok to

write.” Other volumes are either remote or too large for a disc.
