If I burn a Hybrid CD using Toast on my Mac (so that PC users see some different files than Mac users), do I have to make copies of the Hybrid CD using Toast also?

For example, if I make the original hybrid CD on my Mac with Toast, can I take that CD to my Windows computer at work and make exact duplicates using Windows XP & the "Record Now" software?

Will the copies of the CD still retain the Hybrid status?

Does anyone know how this would work? Is my original e-mail clear or does something need clarified?

1. I'm not familiar with "Record Now", or what its limitations are.
2. You could test with a custom (different files in each section) hybrid disc on CD-RW. Erase the CD-RW afterwards. Cost: only time.
3. You can copy a hybrid disc with other sotware than Toast. IIRC, a disc image made by Nero would retain its hybrid status.
4. If the Mac HFS+ section has the same files as the ISO 9660 PC section, and only the latter would be copied, then only eye candy will be lost, as Macs read ISO 9660 volumes just fine.

Thanks for the input. I guess it will just take some experimenting. I hadn't thought about using a CD-RW. I guess I didn't realize that you could use one to make a hybrid disc, but it's worth a try.
