I would like some help to create a .dmg file of the Leopard DVD install
disc. I am having heaps of problems and don't know what I'm doing wrong.
This is the process I'm using -
- I insert the DVD and launch Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
- On the left hand side of the application's window, I select the
Install Disk
- Then I click "New Image"
- Under "Image Format", I have tried selecting both "compressed" and
"read/write"
- I leave encryption to "none"
- I then click "Save"
- I get a window saying "Creating Image "Mac OS X Install DVD.dmg"", so
it is looking good
However, about halfway through the process, I get a message up saying
"Unable to create .dmg. File too large.
Could anyone please help. What am I doing wrong?
TIA
I don't know if Disk Utility can make it bootable though.

Use "DVD/CD master".

Where is it being saved?

Are you saving it on a FAT32 (MSDOS) disk? They have a 4GB file size maximum.
