Jul 20, 2011  Installing Clean OSX Lion from a DVD or USB stick. Lion before I could burn the DMG and now I can't see the install file anywhere. Looked in /Applications and did a Spotlight search too. Burn OS X Mountain Lion installer to single-layer DVD Authored by: lio256 on Oct 25, '12 01:02:43PM If you do want to get the Mountain Lion installer InstallESD.dmg to fit on a single layer DVD, you can use the overburn feature of hdiutil in Mac OS X.

Hint author here. I'll agree that in most cases you would be better off using a USB flash drive (8 gig drives cost practically nothing these days.) In my case, my employer asked that I create some bootable DVDs, and I didn't want to have to order a bunch of dual-layers. I'm sure there are others in similar circumstances.

I haven't tried the script, but it probably won't work in bash without properly escaping and/or quoting the paths with spaces on them.

You're absolutely right - good catch. The paths were fully escaped when I submitted the hint, but it looks like the backslashes got stripped out after submission.
I'll see about getting it fixed. In the meantime, you can download the escaped version here:

I've fixed it.

Were they back slashes, or forward slashes?

I had the install app in a Downloads folder. You will need to change that reference to where your copy of the app is located. This ran in Terminal, after I saved the text as 'MLresize.sh', using nano, and ran on the file.

(I've got a lot of blank DVDs. And they won't get zapped by lightning like my Base Station did.)

The script ran in a few minutes, much less time than actually burning the DVD.
I just dropped the created .dmg file into Disk Utility, selected it, and clicked on burn.
After burning, the disc shows in System Preferences->Startup Disk as bootable.
Although I haven't tried it out yet.

How exactly does this work? How can you reduce the uncompressed size of an image without losing any data?

The image itself has a fixed size of 4.75 GB, but contains only 4.35 GB of data. All we're doing is trimming the free space.

So you can't just use Image/Resize in Disk Utility? (I'd try it, but I don't have Mountain Lion.)

Resize only works for read/write disk images, so, no.

I just copy/pasted the stuff for terminal, not bothering with the bash and everything worked as advertised. Verifying burnt disc now. Thanks!!

@kirkmc Why do you need Lion DiskMaker? Can't you just restore the InstallESD image in Install X Mountain Lion/Contents/SharedSupport using Disk Utility?
I have an installer on a USB and an SDHC Card using the restore method.

@derekJAB,
you can in fact restore InstallESD.dmg. Just remember to mount the dmg for Mountain Lion.
If you don't, disk utility will throw you an error.

Lion Dmg Too Large Dvd Player

If you do want to get the Mountain Lion installer InstallESD.dmg to fit on a single layer DVD, you can use the overburn feature of hdiutil in Mac OS X.
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary.

You can infact burn the installer to a single layer DVD, using a feature called overburn. This is much simpler than it sounds..
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary. It's not unusual to get errors after finishing the burn but as long as the Finishing Burn message is shown, the disc will function as expected.

I think using any of these methods will cause the image to have a different checksum than the original. If that's not important to you, don't fret.
$ man hdiutil
-[no]optimizeimage do [not] optimize filesystem for burning.
Optimization can reduce the size of an HFS or
HFS+ volume to the size of the data contained
on the volume. This option will change what
is burned such that the disc will have a dif-
ferent checksum than the image it came from.
The default is to burn all blocks of the disk
image (minus any trailing Apple_Free).

How can I burn a DMG to a DVD in Windows 7? I want to use that DVD afterwards in an Apple PowerBook.

Lion Dmg Too Large Dvd Collection

1. There is a simple command line utility called DMG to ISO. Search Google to get download link.

2. Is there software called 'disk utility' that i can use in windows 7?
   I thougt it just was on Mac? And I can't use my Mac at this moment, cause het needs to be programmed again.

   Thanks for your support!

   • hello, i forgot windows 7 point. my mistake, and i did not get notification of your comment.
     sorry.

     First make sure that you have the iso of an original mac tiger os then try to do it.osx86 hackintosh will not work.

     isorecorder is the alternative to disk uitily for windows. which i told you about in the first comment.
     http://lifehacker.com/175027/download-of-the-day-iso-recorder?tag=softwarecds

     if it does not work, try nero or try utility disc form a mac.

3. I just used POWERISO. I burned the DVD, but the Powerbook doesn't accept the dvd. The player is turning some rounds and then it's pushing the DVD back out. Her under you see a picture of what I am burning.

   thanks

   • I couldn't send a picture.

     So I give you the maps:
     trashes, vol, applications, bin, dev, install MAC OS X, Japanese, library, optional installs.mpkg, private, read before you install.app, sbin, system, usr, volumes, welcome tot tigar.app,
     And the others:
     . Install Mac OS X
     DS Store
     etc
     mach
     mach_kernel
     tmp
     var

     • try disk utikity,

       Step 1. Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities).

       Step 2. Click Burn on the Disk Utility toolbar (upper left).

       Step 3. Navigate to where you saved the DVD image created in the previous section.

       steo 4. Click on the image file, then click the Burn button. Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step.

       Step5. Insert a DVD when prompted and proceed to Burn it. (use good quality media)

       • But as you can see from the discussion she needs soemthing for Windows.
         Aibek

       • yes, that's why I told her to use iso recorder as alternative

         actually I said it in the very first comment.

         alternative to disk utility:

         lifehacker :http://lifehacker.com/175027/download-of-the-day-iso-recorder?tag=softwarecds

         download from softonic :http://iso-recorder.en.softonic.com

4. Thank you very much, but I don't succeed. The Powerbook G4 doesn't accept the DVD's I burned. What is going wrong?

   • Hello, how did you end up burning the disk? Do you get any error when trying to install? You can visit following links for possible answers:

   • Did you follow the steps in the link ?
     'Do not drag and drop the image file into Disk Utility during this step.'

5. I want to burn tiger 10.4.6

   I have an iso, but I too have a folder with files (I expand it with 7zip).

6. Thank you both very much.

   Tell me, what if I want to make an installation disk? Which programm can I use?

   • can you explain which installation disc do you want to make ?
     generally writing required setup files on a disc will work, whether it is a folder or files like iso.

   • dmg stands for Apple Disk Images. If you have a dmg image is like having an ISO file in Windows, difference is that dmg images are meant to be mounted. They can be put on dvd, cd, flashdrive, for the purpose of moving them to another computer. To have a better understanding about .dmg images, read the following:

     What kind of installation disk do you want to make? If the .dmg file you have is already bootable, you just have to burn it to dvd/cd and it will boot. If you have the .dmg image and a mac, you can use the disk utility. Open disk utility, drag your .dmg into the list of volumes, highlight it, and then select the Burn icon in the toolbar.

7. Select the dmg file, and the disc you want to write on.

   use this guide for the steps:

   download iso recorder [BROKEN LINK REMOVED]
   to burn dmg files.

8. Hello, the only thing you need to do is get a burning software that is capable of burning .dmg images. You can use software like the following:
   http://www.poweriso.com/tutorials/burn-dmg-file.htm
   [BROKEN LINKS REMOVED]
   You could also try burning the DVD as Data disk. Open a burning software like Nero, ImgBurn, etc, select the .dmg image you have and then burn the disk. Once disk is burned you can view it in Mac. Now, if it is an installation disk, that would not work.
