Temporary Partition Error

[joene]

Hi,

 

We've been jusing Toast 8 titanium quite a while now, but yesterday we ran into a strange issue.

We need to burn a 'custom hybrid' cross-platform CD, so that Mac users can't see the PC files and vice versa. To add the Mac files, it's needed that a temporary partition is made, in which you can put your files. Only thing is: the partition doesn't show up on the desktop.

 

I've done this in the past, but this is the first time it's this freaky. I'm clicking 'Utilities > create temporary partition', fill in the necessary fields and click 'OK'. A dialog pops up, I can see the progressbar go, but no disk mounts on the desktop. The system volume gets smaller with 650MB though - roughly the size of a CD, so I'm guessing the partition gets created after all. But where? There's no way I can access it.

 

Like I said, I've done this routine many times before, but only since yesterday I'm getting this strange behaviour.

 

We're working on a Mac with OS 10.4.11 and Toast 8 Titanium.

 

I hope you guys have any idea

 

Thanks!

It should have automatically mounted as it has in the past. The unmounted partition is saved to your hard drive with the name "yourfilename.toast". I just did one of these and Toast put it in my documents folder but yours may be somewhere else. Once you find it you can control-click on it and choose Mount It from the contextual menu to have it appear in the Finder.
