Convert DMG to ISO on a pC?


Recommended Posts

Not that I know of but I've written a small script to do so on my mac:

#!/bin/bash

hdiutil convert -format UTDO -o ./$1.iso ./$1.dmg

Usage:

$ ./scriptname.sh nameofdmgfile

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Saad.

You can burn a DMG as an ISO in Nero, I did it a long time ago when my iBook only had a CD Drive, i forget the settings you have to use, but it definately is possible... Google! ;)

I wonder why so many people are in this situation right now? lol ... hmm... ;) Why would any Mac user wanna help all these pirates? :p

i just hate people who allways scream to the conclusion of warez, ever thought that not every person in the world who wants to convert a filetype is a warez monkey?

But why would you have Panther CD images otherwise? If you bought it, use them CD's... If it came with your so called mac, use the Mac to export the images to a burnable format... I can't think of a situation where you guys could claim to actually legally own the Operating System...

(Not that I really care, I'm just adding a postcount, and waiting for my dinner! :laugh: )

Hehe. Agreed.

You know this isn't the first time we've had questions like this around the Macintosh forum. "Back then" the most common reason was because people wanted to rip resources from an application only available on OS X or because one of the many talented OS X icon designers released a new set as disk images and they wanted to port it. Maybe this guy just timed his question poorly?

That said, I'm 90% sure the majority of 'stupid n00b' questions we get in the next few days are going to be from warez using PC users - but lets try not to be too elitist. I'm not going to go out of my way to help someone having troubles with OS X on their emulator - not because I hate the 'unwashed-masses' but because it's an activity specifically forbidden by the EULA. I don't care if your dreamcast games don't work in your PS2, and I don't care if your "really legal, honest I went and bought it today" copy of Mac OS X won't install on your non-macintosh computer.

:no: well, i have a similar problem. I used o own a MAC... When my X-girlfriend left, she didnt leave without incodent. she smashed it saying some crazy stuff like "you love this THING more than me...." (she was crazy - but told some truth!) anyway - i had a good friend of mine save the information off of the hard drive. he also made a disk image for me - in case the cd got scratched. well, i have lost the cd and all i have is the dmg file - but i now have a pc - for work reasons - and cant afford a new mac. so i was trying to convert it to an iso to get some of the data thats on it - and i am in no way - part of those warez hacking pirates!!! so, if someone knows of a way i would appreciate it, if not - then i guess ill have to wait till i buy a new mac!

Way to bump an ancient thread. Amateur warez monkeys that don't know what they're doing **** me off. Oh, and contrary to popular belief, there is a tool for Windows to convert DMG to ISO. I used it to get my Panther disc image up and running for PearPC.

    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.
