Goes through entire process up to "install blank disc". Then hums for a few seconds and gives me various error messages about my disc burner.
Tried disc burner with itunes and Finder to burn new discs. Works OK. Why does Alsoft software refuse to burn disc?
Wasted half a dozen blank CD's before I gave up.
Love the software but think they had a "senior moment" when they released this update process. Want to build my own disc image and burn it with the Finder. Why is this not possible?

Can't burn disc - Nico Stegeman
Here's what the Alsoft site says what to do:I could not burn an updated CD, so for anyone having those problems here are some instructions from Alsoft:
Burn the disk image manually using Disk Utility under OS X 10.3.x or higher.
"The updated DiskWarrior disk image is in the /private/tmp folder on the
hard drive.
To find the .dmg file do the following.
1. Run the updater. Allow it to read your DiskWarrior 3.0 CD and enter
the registration information when requested.
2. When it asks for a blank CD, go to the Finder (i.e. click on the
desktop).
3. In the Finder, select the "Go to Folder..." command located in the
"Go" menu.
4. The Go to Folder dialog will open and you will need to type the path
"/private/tmp" (do not type the quote marks) and then press Go.
This will open the tmp folder and you can then copy the .dmg file to the
desktop (see note below). When dragging and dropping the disk image file
from the tmp folder to the Desktop, make sure you hold down the "option"
key so that a copy will be made instead of moving the original. Then
burn it using Disk Utility (i.e. Use the "Burn" command from the "Images"
menu and select the .dmg file).
NOTE:
The .dmg file is deleted when the updater quits. You need to make a copy
of this temporary file before quitting the updater so that it does not go
away."
