Convert the DMGs to ISO format and burn them to CDS.

but ill they start if i burn them in windows, if so what program would you reccomend?
~pcwiz
Yeah you can burn them with Windows and they'll still work. Use MagicISO.

And just open the DMG file and Export it as ISO

Hi, I've got an equal problem. I've got iBook G3 and I want to install Mac OS X Tiger. I've downloaded Tiger's image already, moreover, I've burnt it with MagicISO (from *.dmg file) - but after reboot (I'm holding the C button) installation process doesn't begin. I suspect that I need to burn bootable CD, and the question is - how can I burn bootable Mac OS CD on my PC?

Hello, I've solved my problem already. I found a program "TransMac" - it can burn bootable *.dmg to CD.
