Oct 05, 2007 Ok, Heres a short and quick foolproof guide to making a SL-DVD leopard install disc for 9a559. And this method works across the board for all other builds also. What you need 1. Original Leopard developers seed (.dmg)(6.55Gb) 2. One blank DVD.

- Jun 20, 2012 I have a Snow Leopard Installer DMG file and sadly, I cannot burn it to a DVD because my brother in their group’s small outing, which will last a week, carried my Macbook. I cannot afford to wait for such a long time, so I decided to find software that could enable me to burn the DMG file into DVD using a Windows PC.

- Using this tool I was able to, running on Windows 7, create dmg files which were mountable on OSX 10.8.3. Downside The only downside for us is that this tool doesn't appear to be command-line friendly; for us that's a deal-breaker as we need to be able to have an automated tool which our build server (Windows based) can use to build dmg files.

DMG files are a Mac OS X Disk Image files. like ISO files, DMG files are essentially disk images, which are intended to be used with the Mac operating system. The DMG files normally contain program installation files for Apple system and applications, but they can also be used to hold compressed files. With PowerISO, you can manipulate dmg files on Windows PC. PowerISO can burn dmg file directly to a CD / DVD disc. You needn't convert dmg to iso file before burning.
To burn dmg file on Windows PC, please follow the steps,
Run PowerISO, and insert a blank or rewritable optical disc in the drive.
Click 'Burn' button on toolbar or select the 'Tools > Burn' Menu.
PowerISO shows 'DMG Burner' dialog.
Click 'Browse' button to select the DMG file you want to burn.
Select the burning drive and the burning speed from the list. The default burning speed is maximum speed supported by the writer and media. You can change it to a slower speed if necessary.
Click 'Burn' button to start burning.
PowerISO will start burning the dmg file to the disc. You can see the detailed progress information during burning. If no error occurs, you should see the message, 'Burning completed successfully.' at the end of burning. If 'Verify written data' is set, PowerISO will compare the source data with the data written to the disc, and show the compare result after comparing completes.

Like the original poster, I've found a number of machines that require a Snow Leopard installer higher than what may be available (since the owners of those machines have invariably lost their discs and/or have bricked their optical drives). My method (and I will freely admit this was not my original idea) is to use a disk image of a 10.6.8 working HD that has not yet been through the personalization. I 'restored' this image to a few destinations—a toolkit, of sorts—a USB hard drive, FireWire HD, USB flash drive, and even a SDHC card. Then I went through the personalization with each one. Finally, I copied the original disk image (as a .dmg) to these destinations. Obviously, you need something like a 16GB flash drive or SDHC card.
I can then boot the intended 'target' machine using one of these devices and use Disk Utility to restore the 'virgin' 10.6.8 disk image to the machine's hard drive. With a FireWire machine, however, it's often easier to boot the target machine in target disk mode, plug it into my iMac, and do the restore from there.
As a side benefit, there are very few software updates then required.
