I dont know if I am burning the iso correctly. I download the iso then I use apple's disk copy to expanded them then I use adaptec toast usin the Disk Copy option. Is this correct.

vampdiva,

I've not used a Mac since 1989 but it sounds wrong.
An ISO file is a CD image. You should be able to burn it as an image not as a file. Then when you open the CD you get to see all the files. If you get a CD containing a single file, thats wrong too.

In the case of bootable CDs expanding it then burning it will preserve all the files but the booting is often lost because things get moved around on the CD.

Actually, just use toast. Open toast, and select the "Copy" tab. Next, click the "Image File" radio button. Then, drag the .iso file's icon onto the window and click record.

Good luck!
