Jay, I was able to make a backup copy of mine. And, even after that a later version of a backup with the upgrade where you create a new startup disk from the old one, but add the new version of DW to it (I think that was about the time of Panther). I backed up both versions, to keep in my laptop bag for road warrior trips. So, I have no idea what is wrong in your situation unless you have a brand new original that has some newfangled copy protection in the disk. As for suggestions, if you have a friendly PC nearby, you might try burning a backup copy on it. Maybe that would work if the protection extends to the Mac world only. --Steve At 7:49 PM -0400 8/11/05, Jay Snoke wrote: >All- >I'm trying to make a backup of my DiskWarrior CD (for my own archival purposes, mind you!!!), but it won't let me. >Any suggestions? >thanks- >Jay
