I have a PC CD-Rom which I need to duplicate, however I do not have a CD burner for a PC. Hence I am trying to use my Mac to do this instead using the Disc Copy utility built into OSX. I have made an image of the CD, then burned a CD from the image without any problems, however when I put this CD into my PC it does not recognise it and I cannot even browse it's contents.
Anyone know if it is possible to do this or am I wasting my time?Thanks, P.

Yes, it is possible and it should have worked. Can you read the CD on the Mac?

Did you save the disc image in "DVD/CD Master" format? If not, it's entirely possible that it created an HFS disk image (the default is a compressed image, which is HFS).
