How to create MAC partition on an IBM?

I want to burn hybrid CDs on my IBM/DOS PC - have heard that I simply need to create a MAC/HFS formatted partition on one of my drives and burn the MAc-files from there.

Can anyone help me find out how to create this Mac-formatting. Is there any software, or do I have to connect my HDD to a MAC (trying to avoid that)?

Thanks a million in advance -

Carsten

Thats impossible. The PC will never read,
write or partition Mac HFS format.
If you want to make a PC CD-ROM
readable on a Mac, while keeping long
file names, you can write it in Joliet format
and then download an extension that
reads it.

Correction. That MAY be impossible. But try downloading a program called HFV Explorer. You'll have to run a search for it. I (and people like me) use it to create Mac HFS volumes on dedicated partitions to run Mac emulators. The thing is, you have to still use HFV Explorer to actually READ / WRITE the volume. You could copy all the files to the volume with HFV Explorer, but I don't know that you can force ANY app to burn from there.

Nero (for PC) supports burning hybrid CDs (I think) Try getting that (from www.ahead.de) and running through its wizard. Maybe it CAN read/write Mac files on a PC somehow.

Hope this helps. E-mail and let me know if/how it works out.

you should try a program called CDEverywhere (http://www.cdeverywhere.com). it creates a hybrid image (.iso file) of the files that you want to burn. you then burn the image (i used Nero) to disc and voila. great little program.

Bull!
It's far from "impossible".
Use Linux.
