Every so often you are sent a file that has a generic icon on it, and no software on your PC can open it. You check the file extension, and it is .DMG. A .DMG file is a Mac Disk Image. There are different software options that can read and extract the contents of .DMG files so you can access the files within.

Here’s how to convert a DMG file into an ISO file that can be mounted on a Windows PC. First head over to this website and grab yourself a copy of dmg2img by clicking on the win32 binary link. Once the file has downloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click on the file, and select extract all from the context menu. If 7-Zip struggles to extract your file, try right-clicking and using the Open Archive option. Convert a DMG file into an ISO. If you absolutely need to be able to access the contents of a.dmg file on your Windows computer, you’ll need to convert it into an ISO file. This allows you to mount it as normal using the ISO program of your choice. If there is any file that is Mac-specific, it will also show an apple icon next to it. Now you can copy data from the Mac formatted drive to your Windows PC and vice versa. It works perfectly and I didn’t run into a single issue. I was able to copy DMG files to my Windows PC and EXE files over to. Do note the root directory of in a unix file system structure is basically the highest level of the filesystem hierarchy, and is completely different from the root user account, the latter of which provides high-level administrative access to a Mac. All the changes to the disk contents are saved automatically. TransMac is a useful software for those who do not always have access to their Mac computers. It can be used to access, modify and create DMG disk images in Windows without any special drivers. It creates the DMG images with Apple HFS+ file system.

Step 1
Download the 7-Zip installer package, and install it on your computer.
Step 2
Run 7-Zip once the installation is done. Navigate to 'Tools > Options....' Click 'Select All' unless there are specific file formats listed that you require to stay registered with a different program. Click 'Apply' and then 'OK' when you are done.
Double-click the .DMG archive to open it. You can now extract the contents of Mac .DMG files.
AnyToISO Method
Step 1
Step 2
Run the installer and select your desired installation location. Run AnyToISO once the installation is complete.
Click 'Browse...' and select your source .DMG file. Click 'Convert.' You now have a PC-compatible .ISO image that can be burned to a CD and read.
DMGExtractor Method

Download the latest DMGExtractor standalone .JAR (Java ARchive) file.
Step 2

Double-click the .JAR file. Click 'OK' on the first pop-up. When prompted, click 'No' if you only wish to do error checking on the .DMG file. Click 'Yes' if you wish to convert the .DMG file to an .ISO file. Navigate to the folder with the .DMG. Specify the output name (DMGExtractor defaults to the same name as the .DMG file) and click 'Save.' You now have a PC-compatible .ISO file that can be burned to a CD for reading on a PC.
Tip
- Using 7-Zip is the easiest method of the three outlined here, because it actually extracts the contents of .DMG files, whereas all other programs merely convert it to an .ISO, which has to be burned to a CD to be read. 7-Zip can also extract .ISO files.
