new2macs Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hey, I have the full OSX on my PC (not running just the files); I extracted the files successfully to .dmg (around 6.7 Gb)but when I try to burn the DL DVD using TransMac I get a compression error around 40%. I tried just burning the dmg to a disc using Nero and trying to load it onto the MAC but nothing happens. My PowerMac has no OS currently and when it is booted it just shows gray screen with a blinking folder in the center. I also dont have a Mac keyboard - I have a USB keyboard by Dell - does this make a difference? I tried the keyboard shortcuts to boot from disc but I get no response. So I'm not sure if its the disc or the keyboard. I am new to MACs so maybe there's something Im missing. Please help!!!

new2macs Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 No - I do not have an OS at all on the MAC. I need to burn this using my PC which is running XP.
