[CGUYS] Make Disk Image In Mac OS 10 Use It In Win XP; How Can I?

I purchased a MSI Wind U100-432US netbook, mainly for use as a jukebox using iTunes. [It works great!] I've never had a Windows machine before, having used Macs since they were a Lisa. There is a data DVD that came with the netbook, that I'd like to put into the netbook. I tried using both

Alvin, I am confused. Not sure I can figure out what you are trying to do. So, here is my guess: 1. The netbook has no internal DVD drive, and you don't have an external one you could hook up. 2. You want to make the DVD available as a DVD to the Windows XP netbook. 3. In which case, you

I too am confused by the question. Presumably the included DVDs are plain UDF data disks, so it should be a simple matter to copy the files over. Why are you trying to make a disk image? And no, by default, WinXP won't know what to do with an .iso disk image. Unlike Mac, which must include

Is it not possible to simply copy the files from the CD on the mac to the thumb drive? I know some installers won't work this way and NEED to be on the cd to work, but it may work this way also. On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 1:12 AM, Alvin Auerbach alvin.auerb...@verizon.netwrote: I purchased a MSI

Wish to note that there is nothing in the printer start up guide that says you need a USB 2 cable, and not sure why anyone would simply assume that this is known, given that a lot of people must be in the similar position of replacing printers or other devices that ran on 1.0 cables. I know that

There are several different types of USB connectors, but no special cable is needed for USB2. Presumably the first cable you tried is just defective. Try it again now that you can hear the printer connect (Windows makes the USB dis/connect sound). On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 1:21 PM, Ranbo

Thank you, everyone who responded. The netbook doesn't have an optical drive. I didn't want to take a chance on just copying files and leaving behind critical invisible files. I looked up Roger's suggestion of the free winxpvirtualcdcontrolpanel_21, which is unsupported, and that led me
