burned disk image: cdr to disk to PC?

Clicking on the 'New Image' icon in the Disk Utility window gives you a limited set of options for creating a disk image of a CD or DVD, none of which will duplicate the ISO 9660 (Windows) half of a hybrid Mac/PC disk. It is possible to do what you want with Disk Utility, but the process of creating the disk image is somewhat different from the one you've been following.

Here's how to do it:

With Disk Utility running insert the CD or DVD disc you want to copy in your optical drive, and select it in Disk Utility's list of disks and volumes on the left side of the Disk Utility window.

Ignore the 'New Image' icon in the Disk Utility window and instead go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and select 'File > New > "Disk Image from 'name of disc'."

Type a name for the disk image.

Choose "read only" from the Image Format pop-up menu.

Click Save.

After Disk Utility creates the disk image, eject the original CD or DVD.

Select the disk image in the list of disks and volumes on the left side of the Disk Utility window, and choose 'Images > Burn…' from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

When the Burn Disc dialogue appears, insert a blank CD or DVD, and then click Burn.

That should create a byte for byte copy of a Mac OS (Extended)/ISO 9660 CD or DVD that will work in both a Mac and a PC.

Best…
