I've been having some trouble making backups of my Jaguar install cd's using disc copy. After encountering problems trying to run a clean install from the jaguar install cd's that came with my powerbook, I went to the local apple store where they diagnosed the problem as a cd problem and were able to run an install for me off of some of their own install cds. Shortly thereafter, I called AppleCare, gave em my reference #, and was sent a brand new pair of install CD's within 3-4 days. Anyways, as the guy at the genius bar suggested, I am trying to make backup copies of the new install CD's I received so as to save some trouble in case the problem were to occur again. Anyway, I was instructed to make a new "image from device," select the drive where the install cd rom is, and select to make the image as a "CD/DVD master." Then, after the image is created, I was told to burn the image. However, of the 4 blank cds I've gone through, only 3 have completed properly, only to be later deemed unreadable when inserted into the drive. Ironically, the 1 cd that didn't fully burn properly(according to disc copy, it encountered some "burning error") seems to work completely fine. The only problem is, it's only disc 1, and since it was a complete fluke, I'm not sure how to go about burning the second install disc. Anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It could be the CD-R's you are using. I have had a couple of wonkie ones every now and then. Have you tried another brand?

Also you can try burning at a slower speed in Disk Utility, maybe your computer is having trouble keeping up.

I really have no idea though just bouncing some ideas!
