Burning .dmg files on a Windows machine

Here's a goo done. Cheers to the person who can figure it out...

I have a mac cd image file and need to burn it from a Windows PC. I've tried daemon tools, and although it takes it, I still can't read from it. I then tried burning the image with Nero while in daemon tools (Nero won't load it).

I read someplacethat you can just rename it to ISO and load it up in Nero - doing so give me the "Foreign Image File" Error box - "The entered block size does not correspond to the image length. The block size may be wrong. Do you want to correct the value or ignore the problem?"

Ignore goes straight to the burn box - Correct gives me a dialog to change the image type (data mode), block size (2048, 2352), header size, trailer size, etc.


Any clues? I hate to waste any more CDRs...

I know I renamed a .toast to .iso and cooked it just fine, but .dmg is a slightly modified file format IIRC.

Will Nero do a CD-to-CD copy from the Daemon drive to CDR?

I've read up on this a bunch, and there are only 2 options that I know of:
Move the .dmg file over to a mac and burn it using disk utility

or

1) On your Mac, open disk copy
2) Select File>Convert image
3) Choose the .dmg you want to convert
4) Convert to "DVD/CD Master" - it will convert it to .dmg.cdr
5) Rename .dmg.cdr to .iso
6) Copy the disk image to your PC
7) Burn as a .iso with Nero 6/5.5

Both of these ways requires a Mac though. There is no way to do it without one.
