TICKET ARCHIVE -> Boottable Dmg Woes

cordtripper - Mar 22, 2005 - 11:40 pm

alright I have a boottable dmg dvd, which I need to burn. Now I know that I must use disk copy, which is fine. whenever I try to burn the disk, it gives me a dreaded device drained its buffer without burn protection. if I burn the same image on toast, its fine exept, it isnt bootable. ive tried 4 different media types of dvd-r (Rytek G4, Memorex, Maxell, and Verbatims) no avail. I know the burner is good because it works fine in toast, and its the same pioneer 106A, that I had on my pc just a couple of months ago. any help with this little conundrum, would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Eddy,

Thanks for using MacOSX.com.

A couple of things to try out here and hopefully we can get you on the right road.

Delete the following files and folders:

/System/Library/Extensions.kextcache (file)
/System/Library/Extensions.mkext (file)
/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches (folder)

* Reboot now, then try your burn.

If this doesn't fix it, let me know. We can take a few more steps. How much RAM do you have? What OS version? What mac and what drive model do you have (check out system profiler).
