I recently downloaded a dmg file for my mac (doesn't have cd burner). I need to convert it to iso so i can burn it using my PC (running xp PRO) I downloaded this dmg2iso thing and it should convert it using dos but when i click on it, the command promt window opens quickly then closes as soon as it opens. When i went to open cmd using start then run it didnt work either. it did the same thing. i looked around on the internet and downloaded this thing that deleted some files. i restarted and cmd worked but dmg2iso still won't. i tried it on my other oc and it worked. REALLY CONFUSED......

PS i have attached the file.MAKE Google your friend...

DMG2ISO.EXE is a command line program only. Clicking it in Win.XP will achieve what your got.

You have to Run Cmd.exe then enter the path to the program and the program name followed by the file you WISH to input and the file you wish output to be written to..

e.g. D:\My_Downloads\Iso_files\CDM2ISO.EXE "My_Input_File" "My_Output_ File"

Note that I have intentionally NOT used any blanks in folder/file names to avoid having to enclose the lot in ""

Good luck...what is cmd2iso.exe. do i just tipe in the filepath of where my dmg2iso is then the filepath of my input then output?SORRY - brain got way ahead of fingers.

My post should have read:
e.g. D:\My_Downloads\Iso_files\DMG2ISO.EXE "My_Input_File" "My_Output_ File"

Here's an extract from a webpage

"Clear explanation of how to use dmg2iso.exe in Windows
To turn a .dmg file into an .iso file on Windows:

1. download dmg2iso.exe from this site: http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/ by clicking on [win32 binary].

2. to keep it easy, copy dmg2iso.exe to this location: C:\ (which is the root of your harddrive where Windows is installed)

3. go to Start - Run, and type cmd, to start the command prompt (also known as, or also to be found at C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe)

4. type cd.. in the command prompt (which means "change directory") and again, cd.. to get to the root C:\. (also, if you use another folder, you can simply copy that location, like, for ex.: C\My Fancy Folder\My weird documents\Whatever, and to paste it on the command prompt you have to use the Right Mouse Button - Paste)

5. now, you have to have your .dmg file in the same location as dmg2iso.exe. type this in your command prompt: dmg2iso.exe filename.dmg filename.iso (where, of course, you change filename with the real name of your file). (Don't use brackets, like < or >!)

6. that's it."

Good luck & please come back & let us know how you get on.
