I have tried using instant cake on two different computers. I get the same message each time. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? The message is as follows:

/dev/hdc: Read only file system
Restore failed: unable to open destination device for writing

I get all the way to the point of the CD asking me if I'm ready to bake my cake when I get the errors. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have tried a couple of different ways - none of which worked. I tried connecting the HD to the CD-ROM ribbon cables. I have also connected the CD-ROM to the HD cables. Each time I left the CD-Rom as a master and the HD as cable select.

Then my advice to you is the same as I gave the poster in the previous thread I responded to you on - instructions are here:

Connect your CD-ROM as the primary slave...
