The DMG format replaces the .IMG file format used in Mac OS Classic and is not compatible with Mac OS 9 and earlier. DMG files are Mac-specific and are not meant to be opened on Windows; however, Daemon Tools may be able to mount some DMG images files as virtual drives; other utilities may be able to convert DMG files to a more standard format that can be recognized by Windows.

.dmg file is a (CD) disk image created for Mac OSX PC's. If the file is meant to create a CD of clipart then you will be able to unpack it for use on a Windows or Linux PC as well as a Mac. But if it contains a program that is meant to be loaded and run on a Mac only, then you cannot open it on windows.

You can open this file on MAC computer. Or TransMac for Windows can open Macintosh format disk drives, flash drives, CD-ROMs, DVDs, high density diskettes, dmg and sparseimage files.

DMG file is a mountable disk image file created in MAC operating system. You need a virtual disk to open the file on your desktop. You can use Daemon tool for that. Daemon tools can add upto more than 1 virtual disc on your system. Download the tool form down and then run it. Open the file by using Daemon Tool.
