I am trying to create a bootable disc of mountain lion which I downloaded from torrent so that I can install it in my Macbook. Anybody knows how to do it? My Macbook is down and I have purchased mountain lion from appstore. The Internet recovery is not working and apple telephone support is shit. I only have a window PC to do this. I have no access to any mac machine. Please help me!
Now launch Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/), pop in a blank DVD, select the “InstallESD.DMG” file, and click on “Burn” After your disk is done burning, you’ll be able to boot from it with any Lion compatible Mac by holding down C during boot up. The final release of Mac OS X Lion is said to be a 4GB download.

7. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - The easiest way I can think is to run Mountain Lion (or lower) on a virtual machine then use something maybe like SuperDuper! to create a bootable drive.
- Pretty sure double-clicking on an ISO file in windows brings up a burn dialog without the need for additional software..
- The easiest way is to Google for an ISO and burn it to a DVD with a program like InfraRecorder (http://infrarecorder.org, it's open source). From the main screen choose Write Image, point to the ISO file you downloaded, click Open, then place a blank DVD (not sure how big a DVD you'll need) and click OK. Wait until the process finishes and try booting your Mac from the DVD you just created.
- I think that you have got the ISO file downloaded from Torrent site.So,to create a bootable DVD of it,simply burn it with ImgBurn software -
- Run Mac on a virtual machine
- The only real way to do it with windows is to install an older copy of osx on a virtualbox on your pc and then download mountain lion on that. You will of course need a dvd of the older version of osx to install it in virtualboxhere is a guide http://www.sysprobs.com/guide-mac-os-x-10-7-lion-on-virtualbox-with-windows-7-and-intel-pc
- You can use transmac or power isoOnce the file is opened, the system will mount it in a virtual disk located on the user's desktop.This type of file is normally utilized for the distribution of software installation packages for the Macintosh computer system.Prior to the introduction of this file format, the Mac environment utilized the IMG up until the introduction of the Mac OS 9. Open DMG FileThe usage of the DMG file extension is in the context of a mountable disk image file which is generated by the Mac OS X Operating System platform. The Apple Disk Utility is the main application associated by users to this particular file type under the Macintosh platform and is bundled with the Mac OS X installation package.Although not meant to be directly opened under the Microsoft Windows Operating System platform, the DMG format file can be accessed by Windows users by using some third party applications in the market. Basically, the DMG file extension can be compared to the EXE or ISO format of Windows and can even function as a complete virtual drive for the system.The mimicking of physical CD drives is a workaround implemented by the system to address problems that may arise from CD requirements of some software programs including support for the efficient usage of an organization's resources.Detailed information. Open .dmg files.

The instructions below are specific to the Disk Utility program available on the Mac OSX Operating System on the Macintosh computers in IT Computer Classrooms. Even if your computer has a different version of Mac OS X, these instructions should provide a general guide for completing this process. Refer to the documentation provided with your Mac operating system software if you need more specific information.
Burn a DMG or ISO File to Disk
After you have downloaded a program's installation file (*.dmg format for a Mac-compatible program, *.iso format for a Windows-compatible program) to a Macintosh computer's hard drive, you can burn this *.dmg or *.iso file to a blank CD or DVD. You can use this disk to install the program on another computer, or have a backup installation disk in case you need to reinstall the program in the future. You can use a Mac to burn an *.iso file to a disk, and the resulting installation disk will run properly on a Windows computer.
Note: For .dmg or .iso files that are larger than 4.7 GB, you will need to use dual layer DVD. See About Recordable Media Types for more information about different types of recordable DVDs.

About Recordable Media Types
There are two types of recordable CDs and DVDs: CDs and DVDs labeled 'R' can only be recorded on once, while those labeled 'RW' allow you to write data to them once and then add more files later. You can also erase the data on CD-RW or DVD-RW disks entirely and re-use them, which you can't do with DVD/CD-Rs. You can use either kind in IT Computer Classrooms.
For dmg or *.iso files that are larger than 4.7 GB, you will need to use dual layer DVD.
