As far as i am aware .daa is solely Windows... but PowerISO is a CD/DVD image file processing tool for .daa files, which allows you to open, extract, create, edit, compress, encrypt, split and convert ISO files, and mount these files with internal virtual drive. It can process almost all CD-ROM image files including ISO and BIN. DAA is a format for an image file, which supports some advanced features, such as compression, password protection, and splitting to multiple volumes (similar to .RAR and other compression formats).

What reason is there to use .daa instead of .iso, which is cross-platform? Or unless your using linux the above link has PowerISO for Linux... all freeware.

Good luck.

it is a disk image, so I would think that osx could open it.

If I extract the files in Windows XP, can I transfer the files to my Mac?

I figure so. Just convert them to a Mac-friendly format (CDR, ISO, etc.).

I looked and looked, it is impossible to open the .daa file on a mac which i was suprised by because usually you can find a program for everything, which is actually really annoying, you need to have poweriso, which is only a windows program.
