Hello, since I lost my original discs of Jaguar to my daughter getting at them and scratching them, I have been making copies of all my original discs and storing them using the Disk Utility. I make images and then burn them. I made one image, the size is roughly 640MB, but when I try to write it on a 700MB disc, the disk utilitiy says the CD does not have enough free space. I am using new CDs, and have tried Imation and Maxell CD-R's but still no go. Is there anyway around this?
Thanks

Can you compress the image down any further...say 600MB?

You can stuff the file...or in Panther...you can ZIP/Archive the file.
Also, when creating the Disk Image you can choose for it to compress the image....

Well, I want to be able to use the disc if I need it and do not want to unstuff it to do that, so that is out of the question. I just find it hard to understnad why it won't copy.
Thanks though gorickey

Yeah, it's weird...I've seen some burning applications not make full use of the CD size...so it's a 700 MB CD, it'll only recognize 640 MB of it as writable...therefore, you would need (on the safe side) to make your CD even smaller then 640 MB (say roughly 620 MB) to burn without erroring out....

Well, I finally got it to work. I actually brought it over to a friends over lunch and used Toast to copy it.
I have to look into buying toast but it will have to wait until after Christmas.
Thanks again gorickey
