Jun 09, 2013  After burning the Mountain Lion.dmg, called 'InstallESD.dmg' to a standard DVD. And starting up the iMac (holding down the 'option' and 'C' key on the keyboard during start-up. All I was presented with was the start-up screen showing the iMac Hard Drive icon or the iMac 'Recovery' icon. And NO BOOTABLE DISC, as a third option. Mar 08, 2018 Mac Os X Mountain Lion 10 8 Bootable Dvd Iso Iatkos Ml2 Torrent.rar DOWNLOAD (Mirror #1). I burned the dmg to a blank dvd and I would like to know if I could use that to clean install on my macbook, that is formatting the hard drive and installing it through the dvd? I have a drop in dvd that is a leopard, don’t I have to install that starting with leopard again or will this be the same as installing with Lion.

Step 6: Finally, to boot from your install disk/drive and install Mountain Lion, restart your Mac and hold the Option key down when you hear the startup chime. In Disk Utility, select InstallESD.dmg in the sidebar Click the Burn button in the toolbar. When prompted, insert a blank DVD (a single-layer disc should work, although you can use a dual-layer.

Hint author here. I'll agree that in most cases you would be better off using a USB flash drive (8 gig drives cost practically nothing these days.) In my case, my employer asked that I create some bootable DVDs, and I didn't want to have to order a bunch of dual-layers. I'm sure there are others in similar circumstances.

I haven't tried the script, but it probably won't work in bash without properly escaping and/or quoting the paths with spaces on them. Tower of despair floor 92 don't i do dmg in windows 7.

You're absolutely right - good catch. The paths were fully escaped when I submitted the hint, but it looks like the backslashes got stripped out after submission.
I'll see about getting it fixed. In the meantime, you can download the escaped version here:

I've fixed it.

Were they back slashes, or forward slashes?

I had the install app in a Downloads folder. You will need to change that reference to where your copy of the app is located. This ran in Terminal, after I saved the text as 'MLresize.sh', using nano, and ran on the file.

(I've got a lot of blank DVDs. And they won't get zapped by lightning like my Base Station did.)

The script ran in a few minutes, much less time than actually burning the DVD.
I just dropped the created .dmg file into Disk Utility, selected it, and clicked on burn.
After burning, the disc shows in System Preferences->Startup Disk as bootable.
Although I haven't tried it out yet.

How exactly does this work? How can you reduce the uncompressed size of an image without losing any data?

Windows Burn Dmg

The image itself has a fixed size of 4.75 GB, but contains only 4.35 GB of data. All we're doing is trimming the free space.

So you can't just use Image/Resize in Disk Utility? (I'd try it, but I don't have Mountain Lion.)

Resize only works for read/write disk images, so, no.

I just copy/pasted the stuff for terminal, not bothering with the bash and everything worked as advertised. Verifying burnt disc now. Thanks!!

@kirkmc Why do you need Lion DiskMaker? Can't you just restore the InstallESD image in Install X Mountain Lion/Contents/SharedSupport using Disk Utility?
I have an installer on a USB and an SDHC Card using the restore method.

@derekJAB,
you can in fact restore InstallESD.dmg. Just remember to mount the dmg for Mountain Lion.
If you don't, disk utility will throw you an error.

for somehow I need to add 'sleep' before detach to avoid resource busy

Burn Dmg Windows 10

If you do want to get the Mountain Lion installer InstallESD.dmg to fit on a single layer DVD, you can use the overburn feature of hdiutil in Mac OS X.
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary.

You can infact burn the installer to a single layer DVD, using a feature called overburn. This is much simpler than it sounds.
AFTER inserting a blank DVD, bring up terminal, navigate to the dmg folder and type:
hdiutil burn InstallESD.dmg
Depending on your brand of DVD your mileage may vary. It's not unusual to get errors after finishing the burn but as long as the Finishing Burn message is shown, the disc will function as expected.

I think using any of these methods will cause the image to have a different checksum than the original. If that's not important to you, don't fret.
$ man hdiutil
-[no]optimizeimage do [not] optimize filesystem for burning.
Optimization can reduce the size of an HFS or
HFS+ volume to the size of the data contained
on the volume. This option will change what
is burned such that the disc will have a dif-
ferent checksum than the image it came from.
The default is to burn all blocks of the disk
image (minus any trailing Apple_Free).
