"invalid media" prevents creating bootable media cd in Parallels
hi, this is my first post, so forgive me if i have not searched properly to find the answer in the files, but i did search.
1) i reinstalled OSX snow leopard 10.6.8 , parallels desktop 6.0.12106, and acronis TIH 2010 (i can't find any documentation of which build, but it was the latest downloaded from the acronis website) on my imac 24."
2) i am trying to make an acronis bootable media disk on my imac in the optical drive. each time i use the media builder wizard, the "process" clock goes with the green line until it is about 1/2 way finished, then the cd is ejected and an "invalid media, try another" message is displayed.
3) the cd-r checks out as valid for writing in both the imac system information and windows. i have tried multiple cd-r's. the same cd-r brand (memorex) worked fine with acronis TIH 2012 installed on a separate pc when successfully making a bootable media disk.
4) as far as i can tell the imac optical drive is fine. i don't think parallels is the issue. has anyone else had this difficulty? any ideas?
thanks~

My understanding is that True Image Home ,any version, does not support Apple Macs. This still applies even when run in Windows virtual mode.

hi mudcrab & xpilot. thanks for your input. i am aware of the ISO image. i could even copy the disc i have that i made for my pc, i guess, but i would like to find out what the issue is inside desktop parallels and windows 7. i do believe acronis will work on imacs since my copy of acronis home 2100 came with the parallels program, which is used mostly on macs/apples the way i understand it.
