tsantee Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 A .toast file is a disc image that does not maintain file paths outside of the disc image itself. Maybe what you are looking for is to choose Save from the Toast File menu which saves a .disc file that does maintain those paths unless something that the .disc file is pointing to gets moved from its original position.

tsantee Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 I have done more tests: I have an extra internal hard disc in my computer and files on that disc is working. I also have an external LaCie disc connected with firewire and here is the problem. If I make a .disc document with files from these 3 disc's (internal system disc, internal disc and external disc with firewire), only files from the firewire disc is losing there path's. Is the LaCie Firewire disc formatted HFS+? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peli Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 No, the format is MS-DOS (FAT32). I use it with both Mac and Win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you're right. My mistake. It's a .disc document but with the same problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsantee Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Yes, you're right. My mistake. It's a .disc document but with the same problem? As long as the external drives are mounted at the time you open the .disc file I'd expect the links work. Of course any moving or renaming of any part of the path will lose the link. I'll give it a test to see if my results are the same as yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
