Hi there peeps! I posted this in the MAC bit, but it is also relevant for Windows users and as I always post in here and in overclockign, I thought I'd post it here too (for all my buddies to see, and for bragging rights too, lol).
I have been searching for the answer to this problem for more than a week really, hours of research found no answers.
So I set about solving it myself. And now I HAVE.
This is GOLDDUST information. It is nowhere else I can find on the web.
Ok. I have spent over a week trying to work this one out, and EUREKA! I've FOUND IT!
So many have said it cannot be done. but it CAN.
Ok. Here's how to open a .DMG file on a pc to access the files.
First, download DMG2ISO
http://vu1tur.eu.org/tools/download.pl?dmg2iso.exe
The run the file DMG2ISO shell, and select yoru .dmg file. Then name your output file and convert.
Then.... download daemon tools
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/download.php?mode=Download&id=34
install it, and in the bottom right corner (running tasks) left click on it's icon, and select drive 0, and then find yoru NEW converted image (it will now be a .iso image since you converted it from .dmg to .iso).
NOW, you should see when you click 'my computer' a cd/dvd drive with the name of the file, like there was a cd/dvd in your machine (of course it is a virtual drive).
Now.... download Macdrive.

After installing Macdrive, you will be able to select VIEW MAC DISKS IN MY COMPUTER! And of course you have a virtual disc in your pc, which you get full access to!
Now just view all the files, and copy, and paste them to a new regular windows folder, or burn them straight to a cd/dvd and you're good to go! (I think you'll have to burn them straight to a dvd or cd in order for a mac to read them, but mac drive has this 'mac cd dvd' facility too!
:-). I had to spread this news as it took hours and hours of research to get this far, and I feel it is beneficial to the computing community.
:-)

(PS Kevin. I only post on this forum, lol, so you'll get all the hits and computing.net gets all the kudos!).
:-) The best tech forum on the web, I say!
