Disc Burner gives you the option of saving the data you are attempting to burn as a Disk Copy disk image file if an alert box with any of these messages appears:
- "The burn cannot proceed because the startup disk is full."
"The burn cannot proceed because the disc is too full."
"The burn cannot proceed because the disc contains filenames that could not be converted."
"The burn cannot proceed because the disc has folders nested deeper than 8 levels."
Once you address the issue that prompted the burn to stop, follow the steps below. See Figure 1 for help in identifying the respective icons of the files mentioned because some of the names can vary.
Figure 1 File icons
A. The DiskBurnerImage file moved from the preferences folder to the desktop
B. The disk image file (with the default name) made available on the desktop when you double-click the DiskBurnerImage file.
C. The CD-R/CD-RW disc icon representing the blank disc with the default name.
Follow these steps to burn a disc from the saved DiscBurnerImage file:
- 1. Locate the file named "DiscBurnerImage" in the Preferences folder and drag it to the desktop. Depending on how many discs you have saved, you may have other files with a number following the name (DiscBurnerImage1, DiscBurnerImage2, and so forth).
2. Double-click the DiscBurnerImage icon to make the disk image available on the desktop.
When the disk image appears on the desktop, you will see a new icon with the name that you originally used for the CD-R or CD-RW disc. If you did not change the name, then it will appear with the default name "untitled" as in Figure 1.
3. Insert the blank CD-R or CD-RW media you want to use. Prepare it as you did previously. You may notice a new "DiscBurnerImage" file in the Preferences folder. Do not move or remove this file. It will be automatically removed when the burn is completed.
4. Open disk image file (named untitled, or the name you gave the disc). Choose Select All from the Edit menu and drag the files from the window to the CD-R or CD-RW icon on the desktop.
When the files are done copying, click the disk image file to select it and choose Put Away from the File menu.
5. Drag the file "DiscBurnerImage" on the desktop to the Trash.
6. Continue to burn the disc as normal by selecting the disc icon and then choosing Burn CD-R from the Special menu.
