Hi I downloaded a .dmg of leopard installer and i'm wondering if there's a way to burn this on my pc and make it bootable on mac?thanks!

Google is your friend. Please use it!

I don't have a personal experience with .DMG files,
search for "burn .dmg on windows"


Enjoy

I think you downloaded a Retail Version of Leopard, to burned you have to use Utility Disk on Leopard @-o, using a DVD-DL

Edit: I have dvd-DL disc and writer on my PC.

UltraIso works ;-)

Well if you wanna try retail version you have to be sure that it gonna work in your system and have to read alot about 132 bootloader

No you are mean

I have Ultraiso. But i dont know how the heck to use it. I tried one time but then the disc spinned some laps in the Mac and ejected it self.

When i drag and drop the .dmg file to the ultraiso app it says

"size of file exeeds 4gb Switch to UDF DVD format"?

Should i do that? Are there any parameters that needs to be checked so it boots in the mac?

I have another copy (Swedish) APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.ISO-OSX is the name of the release.

the .nfo says

Title: APPLE.MAC.OSX.LEOPARD.V10.5.NFOFIX.ISO-OSX
-------------------------------------------------

Yes this is hybrid (both ppc and x86).

Ok, so installing stuff is hard.

How we did this was created an 8GB partition on an external drive
mirrored the install dvd to the partition (you can use disk utilities or ccc)
then boot from that partition.

Alternatively, you should be able to burn the dmg with toast.

Alternatively 2, you can convert the dmg to iso using:
(mac) hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso
(other) http://sourceforge.net/projects/dmg2iso
(other) http://hem.bredband.net/catacombae/dmgx.html

Alternatively 3, give up and buy vista.

I dont want to buy vista.. this release is smaller than the retail disc i downloaded.. 6.6 gb

Theres one on demonoid, look for it, its Leopard 10.5.4, it have all languanges. To burn it try with PowerISO :hack: or download a hackint0sh version, dont need to be retail
