Guest Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Converting a DMG to ISO using hdiutil or Disk Utility seems to remove the Bootable-ness of the image. Is this the case, or am I doing something wrong when I burn it off using Nero on my Windows PC?! Thanks Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vice Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 You cannot burn a bootable DMG on a Windows PC. you have to do it all from your Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is how I burned my first copies of Jaguar and Panther, so I can say this for certain. The DMG files HAVE to be "CD/DVD Master" type, not compressed.

Southern Patriot Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 I have never heard of anybody burning a bootable DMG on a peecee successfully. Non-bootable ones work, but nothing else. 585805004[/snapback] I've done it, as I have stated before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Veteran Posted May 16, 2009 Veteran Share Posted May 16, 2009 downloading a dmg file straight to a pc damages the file.You will not be getting a workable image from a dmg file downloaded to a pc That's not true. It's just a single file. The problem is with compressed disc images. Old Mac software that had separate code and resource forks could be trashed, but OSX has never worked that way. OP: You can use either PowerISO or MagicISO (I can't remember which) to burn compressed dmg images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
