It refers to the CD image of instantcake. It takes time to bake, don't interrupt the Bake.

I let it go all night it was still at 103? i think something is not right. I tried a smaller drive and its at 621 of 694 right now. Does it matter if there is information on the drive already, or should they be formated?

Also how long is this process suppose to take for a 500gb drive?

* update i had an older version of instacake, i just purchased the newer one, now it just sits at a blinking cursor on the cake is in the oven screen. is this correct?

Infin,

You may want to try burning your CD at a slower speed and also try a different brand of media, if you have one. That *may* solve the problem. If you have a different PC to try, or more specifically, a different CD-ROM device, that may also help.

what size drive are you trying to bake? Instantcake will not always bake above one terrabyte drives. Linux has an upper limitation on drive size.

its a 500gb drive.

i also tried a 250gb drive and that one stops at 169mb. i burned the cd at 8x. will have to try another computer. does the program use the cd drive constantly or just to load up the program? I am using the newest version as of today.
