I am having trouble making a back-up copies of my boot CD disk. When I make a copy on another Mac (an Apple iMac) and test it out on my Hackintosh, it either doesn't read it (and won't boot) or—when I make a copy using a very old copy of Roxio Toast Lite 5.2L—I get the error :
ISOLINUX 3.63 2008-04-10 Copyright 1994-2008 Peter Anvin Isolinux: Disk Error 04, AX=4271, drive FE
I'm new to the Hackintosh world (and PCs). So please pardon my sounding like a novice. I received this Hackintosh from another person.
The boot CD disk I've used works fine. It's just the copies don't work.
Does anyone know why and what I can do to get around it?

Well, I solved my own problem. I downloaded a free 30-day trial of
CDRevolution - 1.13 (version tracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/30778)
It burned a copy of my boot disk flawlessly. Zenopolis (zeno polis.com/software/cdrevolution/) is the name of the developer.
Now my hackintosh starts up fine. I'm going to make a couple more copies before it expires!
