I am trying to make a backup copy for my leopard dvd. I managed to create a .dmg file using disk utility but how should I do to burn it correctly?
I tried burning it using disk utility and the disc cant be read. Any kind souls?

I use Toast Titanium 8.0 with verbatim DL media for backups. No problems. Make sure you are using a dual layer disk for Leopard.

I am trying to make a backup copy for my leopard dvd.

Here's a good idea that I read. If you make a small partition on your external backup HD that you use for Time Machine, you can put the backup of Leopard on it. (small partition for the .dmg, large partition for TM)

This way, if your internal crashes on you, you have everything you need to get back up and running on a replacement from your external...no Leopard disk required. Sounds so good, I need to get this done myself.

Sorry but what do you mean by " with verbatim DL Media" ? I do have Toast 8.03 and i just burn it using the "Data > Mac Only" and it cant be read.

The disc juz keep spinning for a while and it got ejected..

Mine got ejected, too.
I just put it back in for the hell of it (while it was still on the gray screen), and it worked the second time.
Weird.

He meant what kind of blank DVD.

Verbatim = Manufacturer

DL = Dual Layer

Media = Media

Ok before that i will write down how i burn the DVD.

1) I mount the image file which i gotten from the original
2) i simply drag the mounted image file to the toast and burn it
3) In toast i sees all the files from the .dmg file.
4) I just burn it, and it cant be read. Any idea?
