think HFS volume is not common for Cdroms so I guess that’s why the lack of
support, they decided not enough people use it or would notice. I’ve

Thanks for the suggestion Jason, but the CD won't mount at all, even with
Disk Utility. Fortunately I have another back-up on a removable hard drive,
but it is sad to have lost my main back up and now only have one copy. I
don't think I will need many of the files as some date back to 2008. But I
Does it allow you to clone it to a disk image and mount it (bit of a
long shot, I know...)?

I too also have a 2012 27" iMac (with fusion drive) which I'm booting off
