Re: Burning DMG files?
Well, you could brush up your voiceover drag and drop skills, or you could try http://www.simplyburns.sourceforge.net where you wil find a fully functioning cd burner for the mac. Open simply burns. tab to the burn image button and press space. tab to the choose file button and press space. Choose the fusion dmg. Throw in a CD, and hit the burn button. Incidentally simply burns will show you all partitions on the image. My guess is that you'll see an hfs partition and a cdfs or UTF8 or some such. But there will be two partitions, one for mac and the other for windows, and you wil be able to identify them before burning.

Re: Burning DMG files?
I think you need to be in disk utility. The toolbar, I believe, is hidden, so you might have to reveal it. Then, there is a burn button in the toolbar. As long as you have the disk image selected from the drive list and a blank disk in the optical drive, you should be good to go.

RE: Burning DMG files?
This did something, but not enough. I deleted the file, and now when I go to disk utilities and select the VMware dmg file and then go to tools and pick burn instead of disk busy messages I get a waiting for disk to be inserted message, this despite the fact there is a writable disk in the Superdrive and I can feel and hear it spinning. Also, tried with three different disks that all work fine because when I put them in my win box the menu comes up saying what would you llike to write to this disk? Any other thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.

RE: Burning DMG files?
Tried this, now I don't get busy messages, get waiting for disk to be inserted messages, even though the drive is spinning with a known good disk.

Re: Burning DMG files?
Are you having problems with disk in general? Also, have you tried other blank disks? This seems more than a little odd.
