Hey guys,

As the title suggests i need to burn something in nero nad i have no PC's about so i installed virtual PC and got everything up and running, only to find when i burn in nero it seems to be burning and say's completed then i eject the disc and it stays blank......

WHat gives? is it doing a virtual burn? and if so how can i make it do a proper one??

And yes i have tried all application's on mac to burn what i need to so thats not an option....

Thanks,

Will Nero save an ISO image? That you can transfer to the Mac side and burn from a Mac program?

Why not use Toast and do it native on your Mac?

I think that the emulated drive doesn't support burning but I don't know about that...

yup your right virtual PC doesnt support burning i did some reading on the topic looks like my only option would be to transfer the image back to my mac's HD, how exactly do i go about doing this as i have no idea how to transfer files for virtual PC to the mac.....

Also once this is done can i burn the .nrg file in toast???

Thanks,

Just drag from the Windows desktop to your Mac desktop

And yes, Toast can read nrg files.

The drag and drop theory definatly doesnnt work in virtual PC 6.1 is there any other way i can transfer the files??

Hmm, it should work. Anyway, a workaround is to use the "Share Folder" option (it's in one of the VPC menus).
