well, i made the DVD with Toast 7 but i had to bring the TS folder over to my ibook g4 in order to get it done.
I used Toast 7 on the tower (which i brought over from the same iBook) and it still kicked it back to me this time saying there was a problem with the OS. I updated the OS on the tower, so it is still a mystery to me what the problem is.
I shouldn't have to go through this every time so if anyone has any thoughts it would be cool to get some insight.
