OK i tried it all... all possible ways to get an application into windows. No network on my imac, no way to mount a USB stick, cant get a physical CD to mount and my last hope, connect a disk imag. But it doesnt work, Disk Utillity doesnt give the option for creating a cd/dvd master, aldo I can convert a dmg to a master disk but that doesnt work. Using freedmg to make a master disk and renaming it ISO also doesnt work. Pleas all help appreciated, until now there is no way IN or OUT for data, so useless unless i want to play minesweeper
use toast I had the same problem, until I used toast 7 to make a bare bones iso 9660 image: -under the 'data' tab, select 'iso 9660' in the pane on the left -drop your files -click 'select' -click the 'settings' tab -set 'format' to 'cd-rom', 'naming' to 'iso 9660 level 1' and uncheck 'use apple extensions' -click 'done' then use file>save as disk image, give the file a .iso extension instead of the default .toast one. then connect to this image in parallels and you're done. enjoy!
Soooo... can you get a free version of toast? I assume you'll have to buy it, wouldn't you? (Trying to keep the costs of all this to less than a cheap PC.)
I may have found a better solution using the Terminal. It involves a little UNIX, but who cares if its free. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030927130537765
I create my ISOs using terminal: 1. insert disk - findout which UNIX device is used using mount command - e.g. /dev/disk2s0 2. umount the disk using "sudo umount /Volumes/<name-of-your-mountpoint>" 3. copy disk using dd "sudo dd if=/dev/disk2s0 of=myiso.img bs=1024" 4. eject the disk using "sudo diskutil eject /dev/disk2s0" (warning about eject can be ignored) (of course, you can enter all this without sudo by using a root shell via "sudo sh")
well, my last try was booting into windows with boot camp and make an ISO in windows, guess what, it works... side note, i tried toast but not your settings, ill try that later. But i also tried to burn a iso cd in toast and now i see that i can select that in paralllels as a physical CD... Thanks all
ISO From Disk Utility Wow those solutions are way to hard..just used Disk Utility in OS X 10.3 and higher... If you have a real Macintosh, the process of creating an ISO disc image is quite simple. Place the CD in a Mac OS X 10.3 system, launch the Disk Utility program in /Applications/Utilities, click Session 1, and choose "New->Image" From Disk under the Images menu. Make sure to choose DVD/CD Master for your image format. Easy as pie..
Greetings, I suppose using ISO-burner free tool. It is small yet easy to use and relaible. It never failed me before, so you can give it a glance http://www.ntfs.com/iso-burning.htm
Use the tool that comes with Parallels! 1. Look in Applications/Parallels 2. Run "Image Tool" 3. Follow the instructions
Try using magiciso to create iso file and burn iso file to cd. just read their tutorial below. http://www.magiciso.com/tutorials/miso-burniso.htm
