Recording a Disc in Mac Volume Format

1 | Prepare your source volume exactly as it should appear on the disc.

| Because an identical copy of your source volume is created, icons and the position and order of windows and objects are faithfully copied from the source volume to the disc.

| You can use Toast to create a temporary partition to hold the data for your premastering.

• | Note: | Before you use the Mac Volume format, turn off File Sharing.

2 | Click the Data tab, then click the Disc Settings button (or the disc title).

| The Disc Settings drawer opens.

3 | In the Disc Settings drawer, click Advanced, then select the Mac Volume option.

4 | In the content area, click the Select button.

| The Select Volume dialog box appears.

5 | In the Select Volume dialog box, select the volume you want.

| You can only select volumes with the comment "ok to write." Depending on the settings you choose, the comments might change.

6 | Select any additional features:

| • | If you select Optimize On-the-Fly by default, Toast automatically defragments your data, organizing it to use space most efficiently. Optimize On-the-Fly always creates the disc in the Mac OS Standard (HFS) format.

| The size of the selected data appears in the Mac Volume window (in MB) along with the total time the data requires on the disc.

7 | Choose Recorder > Recorder Settings (or click the green Recorder Options button, and choose Recorder Settings).

| The Recorder Settings dialog appears.

8 | In the Recorder Settings dialog, click Advanced, and then select the option you want:

| • | If you want to leave open the possibility of recording additional tracks or data at another time, uncheck the Close Disc check box.

| • | To close the disc so that no further data can be added later, select the Close Disc check box.

9 | Click OK.

10 | Click the red Record button.

11 | When prompted, insert a disc into the currently selected recorder.

| Toast displays a progress bar as it records your Mac Volume disc.
