How to make a dmg file on windows

Files in .dmg format are easier for Mac users to download and install than other file formats. This document describes how to convert a file saved on a CD or DVD into a .dmg file, and how to burn the .dmg file onto another CD/DVD.

Opening Disk Utility

Dmg file is the disc image file which is widely used by Mac systems. Most of Mac operating systems and applications are distributed in dmg files. On Windows PC, it is very convenient to manipulate dmg files with PowerISO. You can open dmg file, convert it to iso file, or burn it to a CD / DVD disc. How does one create a DMG of the smallest size for the given folder? I'm referring both to the size of the.dmg file, and to the size of the filesystem when it's later mounted. If I'm compressing a 73MB folder, I'd like both of these to be 73MB + the minimal filesystem overhead.

  1. Insert the CD/DVD with the file you want to convert into a CD-burning capable Mac.

  2. Open Finder. Click on Applications, then double-click on the Utilities folder.

  3. Double-click on Disk Utility to open the application.
