I backed up my daughters powerbook with Super Duper onto CD's. How can I make an OS X boot CD so I can reimage the hard drive from the backup if I need to?

Are you running Tiger? If so, unless you used Apple Software Restore your backup will not be complete or bootable anyway. I suggest you redo the backup with ASR. Then you can boot from the OS X install disc and restore with Disk Utility.

Go to the Super Duper website and look at their FAQ's. If you don't see what you want, contact the developer directly. He is a very responsive guy. Super Duper is a fantastic product. It saved my hide when the hard drive on my PB broke.

Good luck.
