Some people have wondered how to make a bootable CD of OS X 10.2 (the retail version) and/or a backup copy. After all, it's a $130 investment that some of us didn't want to spend in the first place. To protect your investment, you might want to make a backup copy of the CD. Since your Mac OS treats the OS X 10.2 Installer as a bootable CD on the disc image, you must burn it the right way. (Keep in mind this is not information you should use to make a bootleg version to give to someone, this is illegal, and I ain't cool with that.) Ok. Here's how:
OPEN UP DISK COPY To make the initial image, choose NEW > IMAGE FROM DEVICE For image format, select DVD/CD MASTER You will need to use 700 MB CD-R's for this operation on both discs seperately. Not sure if this works, but I saw it posted somewhere and it seems legit, so give it a try. *B -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
