Answer» As my DVD burner is attached my windows XP system, and I can't burn on the iMac, I thought I should ask here too.
There are instructions at http://creativebits.org/mac_os_x/make_a_dvd_copy_of_mac_os_x_tiger on how to create a bootable MacOS DVD on an iMac.
I've already tried burning the ISO image using NTI backup on XP, and that wasn't bootable, and my version of cdrecord on Suse 9.3 says its license has expired. (I haven't tried cdrecord on Suse 10.0 yet, but it'll take a while to dig that system out)
Is there some special instructions with Nero or NTI backup to burn an ISO image which is bootable my an iMac?As they are 2 completely different OS's i don't think this is possible because they handle things differently...
I really doubt a Windows based program will do this for you.I do hope you're wrong.
I've successfully burnt bootable linux DISTROS using XP (but they all use the same Intel/AMD chipset on a PC)
I've also successfully burnt bootable Solaris distros using XP (but the SPARC OBP allows you to tell the server that the media is bootable)
The same DVD media is used on iMac/Windows/linux/Solaris, so there should be a WAY using the right program to burn the data in the way that MAC OS needs to identify it as bootable, regardless of what system is used to do it.
Its just a case of finding the right program and the right format ... I just hope someone knows and has written the program already PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!

Who made that up?

I did!
It says "Infiniti Professional DVD-R 4.7Gb 16x" on the packet, with no reference to what type of system to put it in, so I assumed you could use it on all 4.I don't think the problem is with the disc. You are trying to use one operating system to write a readable disk for another. For one, Windows CD drive doesn't EVEN recognise Mac disk. However you can get some software to do that
http://www.macwindows.com/disks2.html. I use MacDrive, it works pretty well.
