Mac OSX Discussion

so in disk utility on Leopard u can recover DMG files to external HD's so its lik the mac install discs. well i need to recover an ISO of a Vista file to a CD and have no idea how to do this in Leopard or Windows XP in Parallels. can someone help me out here because the apple forums have gotten bad and i barey get answers anymore

So, what you're saying is it backups the ENTIRE DMG to a External Harddrive? If you're talking about recovering an ISO of a vista file (file, not install right?) to a CD, you can just burn it no? Or do you want like a "recovery disk" that contains part of the file?

like if u click on a DMG or ISO file on mac it opens a bootable image that lets you access all the info on it, and wen u recover it to an External HD thats pretty much what it does, and i need to do this to a CD so i can install Vista with Boot Camp

recover. i dont think i need a DVD because the file is under 700 MB

o im sorry, i mean restore not recover (its a disc utility feature if you dont know what i mean)

burn it to a CD then run boot camp and insert the CD right? or is this the recovery image? if so u need to have vista installed on the computer cause the recovery is a bunch of cabnet files or useless things like that

burn to a CD and run Boot Camp is what im doing, but i no i can just drag the ISO to the CD and hit Burn

Note: To burn most ISOs, you can use Apple's Disk Utility (Disk Copy in older versions).

1.Launch Disk Utility (Applications → Utilities → Disk Utility)

2.Drag the ISO to the sidebar of the Disk Utility main window.

3.Select the ISO where you just dragged it, and choose (Menu → Image → Burn...)

4. In Disk Utility, ensure that the Verify burn checkbox is ticked (you may need to click on the disclosure triangle to see the checkbox).

5.Insert a blank CD → Burn.

6.Check that verification (if available) was successful. If verification was not available, at least make sure that a sample of directories on the CD can be accessed by the finder.

ok cool that worked thanx. but now i have another problem :l when i run it it copy's all the files so it can run the installer, but then when it goes to load the Boot Camp partition i get an error saring it cant read the disc(or something like that) and then i go to run the disc again and it says the same thing(so it reads it once and then not again?) 0.o
