[QUOTE="xine2012, post: 1392688, member: 247514"] So, earlier today, i went down to my local pawn shop with some cash in my pocket, ready to snag some cool stuff. Well, turns out they happened to have an older Poly-carb macbook on the shelf. I ended up picking it up for 300, but it has an issue. It seems as though the previous owner deleted the /var folder on the HD, rendering it essentially useless. Hardware wise the laptop is fine, i'm installing ubuntu on it now. But, what i need to know is how to make a bootable .iso out of the DMG. I got the DMG from my friend, from when he made a backup of his, but he was lacking in dual layer DVDs. I scooped a pack up on my way home, and am still waiting to burn them up. I'm working with a windows machine for now, so pleeeeeeaaaaaaaaase don't tell me i need a mac to do this. I know it would make things EASIER, but there has *got* to be a way to do it otherwise. maybe a linux solution? [/QUOTE]
