Several methods showed in this blog to install Mac OS X on Windows OS with Desktop Virtualization, original Mac installation DVD does not work sometimes with these methods.

By any chance if you need to convert Mac dmg to iso in windows environment, then below method will be helpful. DMG is an image format used in Mac OS X. Windows OS and its most of the software do not support dmg. Once it is converted to iso then you can write it on CD or DVD in Windows.

We will use a small program called ‘dmg2iso’ for this conversion. There are several methods available on internet but unfortunately non of them worked for me. dmg2iso did the job quickly and correctly. So I decided to share it here.

iBoot is another good boot loader to install Mac OS X on Physical Intel computer or desktop virtualization software Oracle VirtualBox. Follow this method if you failed with EFI Boot loaders or any.
