McSkywalker Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Tip: How do you plan to boot if you burn it as rar files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bikedude880 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Extract the rar file. If you get an ISO file, burn it to a DVD at low speeds. If it's a DMG file, you will need to convert it to an ISO file (this assumes you are on a Windows machine) and then burn it. Good luck! Tip: How do you plan to boot if you burn it as rar files?

Guest bikedude880 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 How large was the file that you downloaded? And you won't see much of anything on Windows anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murcielago585 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 are you sure it was a rar? when i downloaded isos in windows winrar decided to associate iso with winrar so it would basicly extract the contents of the ISO into a folder. It also showed the icon as winrar so it got confusing. double check to see if this is really a rar file. good chance is that its an iso. if you need a small free app to burn the iso go to this website and download image for windows. luck to ya http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/utilities.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSkywalker Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 That's the same as what you'll get when you insert a Mac OS X installation DVD into your drive in Windows. But it probably won't work that way. I think he had to make a burnable image of the DVD rather than just copying it. Anyway, goodluck. If it won't boot when you burn the DVD(which it probably won't), you'll have to download another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esc Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Yeah, it's supposed to be an iso. But Winrar wouldn't have opened it if it didn't already have the iso extension. Anyway, if the extension got deleted add it back. Burn it with imgburn or similar - www.imgburn.com. Insert the burned dvd in your dvd burner/player and open it with isobuster and you should see all the files, even the apple file system files. Isobuster will also tell you if it's bootable.
