    I'm sure that most know .dmg is a mac file.
    I'm trying to get a way to burn it as an image file on PC so that I can run it on a Mac.

    Anyone have any advice on how to do it? Or what program to use?

    stuffit expander?
    sometimes the dmg is mac encoded so it will not execute on windows computers.

    Just burn the dmg file as a single file. When you run the CD on the Mac, you can double click on the dmg file and OS X will treat it as a CD. The only difference will be that you will have to double click the DMG file after sticking the CD in the Mac.
