Stuck with a NTFS DMG of my MCE 2005

[GwaiJai]

Hi guys,

 

I tried Googleing my problem for days now, and I'm still stuck with my activated, (was) fully functioning MCE 2005 NTFS partition on a DMG backup I made before I try Vista. I know I'm dumb enough to use Disk Utility to make an NTFS DMG for backup now, but I didn't know a better choice still now. I rather use NTFS because I didn't want to have OS X messing around with my Windows, just as I won't allow Windows screwing around my OS X .

 

Now I'm sure it works for my Mac Book Pro with ether Windows XP MCE 2005 or Vista Home Premium living peacefully together, but not both Windows. I don't want to only use Vista, I'd rather go back to my MCE and throw out Vista, I hate that crab anyway .

 

Now my question is:

 

1, Is there any ways and means that I can utilize that DMG I have with the MCE on NTFS?

 

2, If yes, does anyone know a way to make Boot Camp allow tri-boot OS X, XP and Vista?

 

3, If I can't use that DMG, then what's the best way to dual boot or tri-boot OS X with one or two Windows installed.

 

I love my Mac Book Pro so much that I really don't want to go back to my huge HP MCE notebook. At least I'm not going to drag her to work or school .

Use winclone instead. It works perfectly, as long as you untick all the checkmarks in the options. No reactivation necessary. Good Luck

This doesn't seem to answer my question about restoring a NTFS DMG, but thanks for the effort anyway.
