Sambba Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I got the .dmg retail snow leopard disc on my machine, so to install it do I have to convert it to .iso? Sorry for noob question again just want to prepare all so I don't screw up.

nyrol Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 You can just burn it as a dmg if you are on a mac. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206968-burning-as-iso-or-dmg/#findComment-1383473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for noob question again just want to prepare all so I don't screw up. Have a look at: Windows: http://www.blogsdna.com/3183/convert-dmg-t...ith-dmg2iso.htm or you can use UltraISO,PowerISO or MagicISO and use Convert utility from their menu. Mac: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...040121135301830 hdiutil convert /path/to/filename.dmg -format UDTO -o /path/to/savefile.iso Replace /path/to/filename.dmg with the path and name of the existing .DMG file, and replace /path/to/savefile.iso with the desired path and name for the converted image. bozon42 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/206968-burning-as-iso-or-dmg/#findComment-1384105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambba Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Why its better to use USB? And do I just press format with disk image and put the mac image in? I put in the .iso or -dmg? Also, does empire EFI still work if I use memory stick instead of disc? And my mac partition is currently in windows format can I put it to mac format with disc part on install?
