Burning a Windows iso to DVD on a Mac

After playing around in Windows 7 on a VM, I was ready to repave my spare top and give it a whirl. None of my Windows boxes have a DVD burner, but my MacBookPro does. Here is what I did:

(I use VMWare Fusion to run Windows on my MBP.)

On the MBP:

  1. Copy the iso to my shared folder for my virtual machines on my MBP.

On my Windows VM:

  1. Map a drive to my shared folder (I already had this… I use Y:\)
  2. Download the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools.
  3. Insert a blank DVD (On my VM the host DVD burner shows up as the D:\ drive)
  4. Open the command prompt.
  5. Type: 

dvdburn D: Y:\en_windows_7_beta_dvd_x86_x15-29073.iso

A few minutes later my finished DVD was ejected from the DVD drive.

Gravatar Next time, just open Disk Utility on your Mac, open the ISO, and burn it to a disk.

Disk Utility can be found in the Applications\Utilities folder and can burn both single and double layer ISOs.

Gravatar Better yet,

Running Windows 7, right-click on the ISO and choose "Burn to Disk".

:-)

(Assuming VMWare fusion exposes the MacBook Pro's drive as a burner)

Gravatar Chris: I tried that and ended up with several coasters. (I tried them on 2 PCs, and neither could read the DVDs). I obviously missed some setting in there.

Gravatar hey, the only versions of the legal download I was given were an ISO.exe and a plain .exe. How would I burn either of these to a DVD so Boot Camp would read it?
Is there a way I can convert the ISO.exe or the .exe file to a .iso?
Thanks :)
