im not entirly sure if this the right place to put this but nevertheless.

is it possible partitioning a CD or DVD like you can with a Hard drive??
it would be hell convenient if i could burn 2 different disk images onto one CD/DVD

i had this CD/R that had some star wars game and lode runner on separate Partitions on one disk.
i found a article about it but it was hell old for like os 9 or something older.

They're separate volumes, not partitions. I don't think you can do what you want with disk images. From the built-in Apple help (for Disk Utility):

Recording on a recordable CD more than once
Normally, you can burn items to a recordable CD, such as a CD-R or CD-RW, only one time. However, if you use Disk Utility to burn the disc, you can burn items to a disk in more than one session as long as space is available. This is also called multisession burning.

To burn a disc, you need an optical drive in your computer or connected directly to your computer. You can’t burn a disc using a remote optical drive.

To burn to a recordable CD so you can burn to it again:


In Disk Utility, create a disk image that contains the files you want to burn to the disc.

The files must be from a volume with a Mac OS Extended disk format. To check a volume’s disk format, select the disk in Disk Utility, and look at the information at the bottom of the Disk Utility window.


Select the disk image in the Disk Utility list, and then choose Images > Burn.


Select the “Leave disc appendable” checkbox. If you don’t see this option, click the triangle in the top-right corner.


Insert a blank recordable CD in the optical drive and click Burn.

To add more files to the disc later, follow the steps above. You can continue this process until all available space on the disc is used.

sorry if i don't understand completely. i know how to burn a disk so put that a side .

i know how to burn one disk image to CD or DVD using toast.
but if i want burn more than one image to disk. so do i need a rewritable disk?
so u use disk utility to do that?

First of all, the graphic in your sig is *way* too big. Please reduce it according to the forum rules posted at the top of each board.

Second, as the instructions say, you can use Disk Utility (or Toast if that's what you want) to leave a disk appendable so you can write more stuff to it. If the disk images don't go over the size of the disk, I guess it would work.

yep fixed my sig size.

i can't find a way to leave a disk appendable in toast so i guess il just use disk utility.
my first attempt at making a multi disk image dvd was to create a disk image with more than one partition and burn it like that but it didn't work so il try this way and hopefully it will work.
