But I did find some links that supposedly describe how to create ISO images from a DMG file: http://homepage.mac.com/geerlingguy/mac_support/mac_help/pages/0023-convert_dmg_img_iso.html http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040121135301830 Unfortunately, none of these instructions worked for me. The resulting image was in Apple Partition format, not the standard ISO 9660 format, making it unreadable on Windows. If you have better luck, please let me know.

I have some files to burn as ISO CD so that both PC and MAC users can use it. What I don't quite get from your instruction is: How do I end up getting a .ISO to be selected to burn? Do I have to make the .DMG first? I'm just confused how the CD will become an ISO so it can be viewed as well in a PC. Thanks for any help. JM Oh, actually, I posted it here:

But here’s the question I’ve posted:

Thanks for any help.
