This may sound stupid but I'm wondering if its possible to copy a macintosh software cd with a windows PC computer using the standard nero software. If it is possible, what software should be used to copy? A regular blank "PC" cd would be used and the copied cd would be used to install the program in another mac. I'm not at all familiar with macintosh and PC compatibility. Thanks!

Yup, it'll work perfectly. It'll just make an iso of the disk, then burn the iso to the new cd.

Sometimes the mac CD's are in Mac FORMAT!! I think you should Google for a program that can read Mac format disks in windows...?

As long as it's a data disc....It could be troublesome. Macs only read + R's or -R's i forget

Macs can read PC formatted disks, however since .ISO is a standard format, the file itself would burn on both a Mac and a PC. If youre worried a lot about compatability issues, just burn the ISO files and have the person on the mac extract and make the actual copies from the archines.
