[QUOTE="S.SubZero, post: 995392, member: 51635"] Your Mac apparently doesn't like the discs you're burning. Are they the same brand? Are they relatively new? Have you tried these discs in other machines? Also, you can try booting up OS X and put the Windows CD in and see if OS X can read it. If you can see the disc and view directories on it, you can say the burn is "good" even if it's not booting. Regarding your image, is it a known good bootable ISO? For the record, XP discs have no copy protection, and a "burned Windows disc" is not that unusual of a thing, even for legitimate owners. Windows has long since supported taking a base image of a disc and integrating later service packs and drivers and other odds and ends. For an OS as old as XP, being able to keep an up-to-date install media is a handy thing, and Microsoft (to a degree) supports it with triggers in updates and service packs to integrate into the install files.

Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
