#TOAST TITANIUM MAC 0S ERROR INSTALL#
Unfortunately, for me this method never works for the Leopard retail install disk I have. (The boot disk is always Disk 0 the next found hard disk is Disk 1 & finally any mounted optical disk gets the next number.) I choose "Disk 2" (or whatever is appropriate) since my system usually has other hard drives attached & hard drives are assigned disk numbers before optical ones. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1+ The only place I ever deviated from the "Panther/Tiger/Leopard method" is at step 3: Ideally, that source would be Apple but I doubt that will ever happen. To date, I've burned enough bad copies that I pretty much am unwilling to try again unless I can find detailed, step by step instructions from some source that has tested the results & can confirm that the copy really is functionally identical to the original in all respects.
What is most maddening is that I have to keep burning DL DVD's to test each method, then try booting from them, & when that fails try to figure out what went wrong. (This is not meant as criticism of the users making the reports, who I assume are making good faith efforts to help as best they can.) I feel like I am missing some crucial bit of info or making some error somewhere during the process but I have just about given up hope of figuring what it is. Occasionally I see reports like those in this thread that it can be done, but there never seems to be clear confirmation that the disk is functional for booting, or some detail is lost to memory or not available when I ask for more info.
I have tried different versions of Toast, different versions of Disk Utility, using both Tiger & Leopard as the supporting OS for each, different brands of DL DVD+R media, different image extensions.
#TOAST TITANIUM MAC 0S ERROR UPGRADE#
Since my source disk is the 10.5 retail version, I don't expect it to support my MacBook, but since the original boots the G5 (it is the same disk I used to upgrade the G5 to Leopard!), I am at a loss to explain why nothing works.
Nevertheless, no matter how I try to create the image or burn it, the results are (at best) a DL DVD that won't actually boot my G5 iMac. The toast formatĪppeared to be the same as an iso format.įrom what I can tell, the "toast," "iso," & "cdr" extensions are all actually the same kind of bit-for-bit image files & are all treated the same for burning by Mac applications like Toast or Disk Utility.

Image software before burning it and both Mac and PC formats were readable.
We could read it on both Mac and PC after burning it.
#TOAST TITANIUM MAC 0S ERROR MAC OS X#
I changed the name to Mac OS X Install DVD.iso and burned it in DU. On restart with the better attempts set as the boot volume, I get a gray screen for about 30 seconds (with no spinner), then briefly a flashing 'can't find an OS to boot from' folder & question mark, followed by a black screen & than a restart into the first "real" volume on the internal drive.Ī friend of mine brought me a thumb drive with a "Mac OS X install DVD.toast" file on it. Some appear to be identical to the original, right down to file sizes & counts, the number of visible & hidden partitions & some even appear in the Startup Disk system preference or with Startup Manager (the option key restart process), but none will actually boot my iMac G5 (which came with Tiger installed, so 10.5 should support it). I have tried this & other variations to make a backup copy of my Leopard retail disk (which installs OS version 10.5) but all I've ever managed to create is a bunch of expensive DL coasters. Do you mind explaining this in more detail? Are you saying to make an image file with Toast but burn it with Disk Utility? If so, how exactly do you get Toast to make "an exact image (iso,tao)"? What version of Toast is required & what extension should the image file have?
