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.

Click OK.

10	Click the red Record button.
