    Hey,
    My boyfriend has a PowerBook with Mac OS. I don't know much about Mac and I wanna surprise him with Office 2004. The problem is that his Dvd/Cd player is not working so he has to put the Cd in his PC running on Windows XP and copy it on his PC and from his Shared files install it on his laptop. Now, I have the Cd image in .dmg, on my PC also running Windows XP, but I can't convert it to .iso so I can be able to burn it and he can be able to read it from his PC. Can someone please help me.
    Thank you

    Let him copy the .dmg file from the CD into his HD in Windows and run it in Mac OS. There is no need to convert it to a .iso image.
    A Mac .dmg image is like an installer file. As long as the user can double click on that file in Mac OS X the installer will run and install the application.
