    I have a different problem I would like to make an Image that windows sees as a disk that I can read&write to. I can do this with my mac but when I bring the Disk Image to any pc running 2000 or XP it is seen as an archive that can not be opened even tho it is formated as MS DOS.

    Have you tried usng a virtual drive to mount the image? Many image files will be recognized as archives unless you mount them as a virtual drive. There's several free ones available:

    And the free CD/DVD burning tool StarBurn has an option to install a virtual drive also:

    I was hoping that there was a way to do this from windows. I will give these a try.
    Thanks again,
