Now as you may or may not know, pcs usually go off of FAT32 or NTFS and Macs go off of HFS.

Now a pc can't read a Mac OSX boot cd, because it's HFS. However, I need an ISO of the CD so I can boot it up in VirtualBox.

Keeping in mind that I don't have the hardware to make a quick hackintosh, what's the easiest way to make an ISO out of the Mac OSX boot cd?

Right now I just downloaded a program called HFSExplorer, which sounds like it might work, but I'm still playing with it.

If anyone knows an easy way to do this without shelling out money for a utility, that would be great.

EDIT: Apparently HFSExplorer writes it into a DMG not ISO, so I can't use that.

    I was hoping someone would know before I went back to work tomorrow, but I guess not.

    Oh well.

    I was gonna put one of those Smilies here, but none of them fit my state right now.

    Use daemon tools to mount stuff.

    And this a program called magiciso that I THINK does this kind of stuff. Ive never used it but do a google search.

    A lot of the .iso file manager programs out there are for mounting .iso files without a disc (read: torrented games/movies and stuff) so it might be hard to find a manager that actually does the reverse.

    And uh, no one on this forum is a techy person lmao.
