Making a Mac & PC Disc
This type of disc can be used either on a Macintosh or a Windows computer. This is the best choice for sharing files and folders with most computer users.
To make a Mac & PC disc:1 In Toast, choose Burn tab, and in the Burn Data area, choose Data Disc.
2 In the Output Settings area, choose Mac & PC from the Use For drop-down menu.
3 Set the destination and specify the number of copies, and enable any of the following check boxes:
