Howdy:

An extension search brought up a few programs that may do the trick..


Bitmap GraphicProgram: GEM / VENTURA PUBLISHER

CloneCD CD image fileOther programs: Aladdin ShrinkWrap, Apple Disk Copy

Erdas Imagine's proprietary digital image format.Erdas is owned by Leica GeoSystems and Imagine is a geographic imaging and GIS program.

Image - Generic extension for the exact copy of a disk, HD or CD in a file.

If you care to look, Ventura Publisher will open a .img file as will Aladdin Shrinkwrap program..

You just may have to buy something now won't you !!!

I understand sykes93's situation but I don't understand why this needs to be done. Supposing a Mac disk 'IMG' file can be extracted on a PC, what would one want to do with the contents? They are most likely Mac-specific program files.

Here's how I do the same thing on my computers...
I open the disk image file on my Mac and extract the contents to a disk image on my desktop. I realize that only 5% of the files are of a nature that a Windows PC could possibly handle and transfer those few files through my LAN to my Windows PC.

If you are attempting this for Mac emulation on a PC, you should already have the disk mounting utility to handle a disk image file. What emulator are you using?

 

[sykes93]

i'm not using any emulator. In this image file the files are not mac only and can be read on a PC as well so ineed to be able to open it on my pc !

well it seems vain to find someone to help me now (

Have you tried GhostExplorer (Symantec Program).
Also, do you know what software was used to create the .img image. That would help answer the question.

 

[jrogersnd]

Use CloneCD to burn the IMG file to disc. You must have the associated .SUB/.CCD files with it to burn - these files contain header/track information for the image. Daemon tools will load the IMG file if there is a CCD file associated with it.

The only other program I can think of that can open .img files is dd in linux.

Sorry,

[sykes93]

well, thx all for tryin to help me but i think thath nobody read my next replies, IT IS NOT A CLONECD IMAGE IT IS A CDROM MAC IMAGE FILE MADE WITH DISKCOPY so i need a program on pc to open it and no mounted image software did it until now (daemon tool, winimage, winiso, clonecd, isobuster, etc..) DIDN'T WORK ON THIS FILE...

Question:

is this .IMG file an Installer for an application for MacOS? Is this something you downloaded, or something someone gave to you? If you're trying to get a file from a mac to a pc maybe you should ask that question instead.

If this is a Mac installer file then you might as well give it up.

The reason is: Mac files contain resource forks that describe what type of file it is. This information doesn't transfer between PC and Mac, a PC will destroy them. Please clarify your situation a bit more so we can help you better

[sykes93]

yes it's something i downloaded but it can be read on a pc too (it's some jpeg pics) the .img was made on a mac and i want to open it on my pc ( as you can open a sit archive with stuffit no matter it's pc or mac).

 

[jrogersnd]

well - sit files are cross platform, IMG files aren't.

looks like you're outta luck on this one pal (unless you know someone that has a mac).

I HAVE FOUND HOW TO DO IT

burn the .img with nero (as image file , option HFS volume file) and use transmac (

to open the hfs volume cdrom (use a cd-rw to erase image file after i extract what i need)

I'M HAPPY !!!

thx all !!
