[QUOTE="dchicks, post: 1139085, member: 95518"] As I mentioned in my original post, I did try making a duplicate. The duplicate would not mount, either. I find it hard to imagine that the OS has anything to do with inspecting the disc and rejecting it because it's Windows OEM, because it works on my MacBook with the same OS version. All I can imagine is that something about the iMac drive doesn't like something about the disc format. It's just weird. I do understand that the EULA ties the install to a machine in license. It does not do so physically, though. But, that's not really the subject of my problem. :-) [/QUOTE]
