DVD Emulation after restart?

[cruiser1338]

Well, I'm in a bit of a bind. I have a .dmg that is a dvd image, but I don't have a burner for it. You need to be able to boot from the disc, but I can't because when I restart, the image is unmounted.

Is there a way, a piece of software, anything that will let me boot from the disc image?

Thanks in advance.

You could make a partition on your hdd with the contents of the image..

Not a pirate copy. I backed up my WDCC 10.4 disk, and I wanted to know how I can use it from my drive.

Is there anything else I can do?

Not much of any options -- you simply cannot boot from a disk image.

If you happen to have OS X Server laying around, you could try with NetBoot, but you'd also have to have another Mac laying around as well.

Since you can't boot from the image, you may as well put the WWDC 10.4 DVD back in the drive and boot that way -- shouldn't be a problem, right?

Not a problem, but I thought it might be a cool thing to be able to do.

Thanks for the help guys!
