Complete newbie, quick question?

Hey guys and gals

I've just downloaded a big image file (.dmg) (i.e., DVD-size) and need to boot my computer using this image. It's mounted, on the desktop, but because I don't have a DVD-R, I can't physically burn it.

Is it possible to boot from a mounted image sitting on your desktop? And if so, how?!

Many thanks

No. Your computer runs DiskImageMounter to mount disk image files on the Desktop. MacOS X must boot and be up and running before DiskImageMounter launches.

If the dmg could be converted to a .img couldnt it be burned on a PC?
