Disc copy problems

[AUcdc]

Help, I'm trying to burn a copy of a mac cd on my pc to use on a mac. Yeah, I know. The problem is, once burned... the copy looses the creater-type info, and thus can't be opened on a mac anymore (without the choose program dialogue). I've tried several different record types - Joilet, ISO, ISO2, UDP? and nothing seems to work. All my mac files appear as blank documents (unrecognized). Seems like if it were an exact copy, nothing would change.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

Software:
Win XP
PrimoDVD 2.0

Thanks,
Chris

That's wrong. MAC CD's use their own filesystem, which on hybrid CD's is forked with the Joliet one (with or without rockridge extensions- it depends if you want your CD being able to read at *nix machines, too).
So a dumb 1:1 copy which ignores the FS and copies just sectors should be enough. Needn't be a RAW copy, a dumb 1:1 is OK.
For mastering MAC CD's under windows, you'll need WinOnCD (Nero's hybrid module is a bad joke, and Pinnacle's limited, as it cannot add data in front of the "fork"- that's shared for all OS'es), or mkisofs (if you are good on commandline), or finally a hybrid ISO builder like CDEverywhere: http://www.cdeverywhere.com/
PrimoDVD is way outdated, RecordNowMax 4.5 is exactly the same application with many added goodies on top of it.

Thanks for the info scarecrow.

I was searching the threads and came across one that touches on what I am tryiing to do. One of the suggestions was to create a mac volumn on the pc and pull everything from there. Does this actually work? and I have to use primodvd (I think) as its bundled with a multiple cd-labeling system.

Much appreciated,
Chris
