I was searching the 'Net to see if there was a way to open up a .dmg image file on a Windows machine and came upon this website. There seems to be some posts here with people wondering how to open a .dmg file on a Windows machine.

I've come across a solution that I thought I'd share with you as this page came up when doing a Google search for "+windows +.dmg" (not in quotes, of course).

I was informed that Nero could Burn a .dmg file if you forced it to.

And then I got to thinking...

"If Nero could burn it, why shouldn't Daemon Tools recognise it?"

Guess what - It does!

You can mount the .dmg file to a virtual drive using Daemon Tools and then extract the files that way - or just use the virtual drive to access the files. All you have to do is choose "All Files (*.*)" from the "Files of type:" dropdown and then select the .dmg file to mount.

And they said it couldn't be done!
