    You should be able to if its an iso using a program like ISOBuster.

    Why have you got an image file anyway? why dont you just use the cd?....

    its not a ISO, its in .DMG format (i think). its a password protected image file i created when i was using a apple powerbook, so no original cds im afraid.

    Oh, a password protected file..
    you made :D

    Check to see if Winrar will open it, i think that will.

    Try Magic iso, ISOBuster and PowerIso, they can usually open more than ISO's.

    DMG2ISO (changes it to ISO)
    Also try CDMage.

    I think if you change it to .iso you can still use it normally, also i think that you could maybe mount it with daemon tools and look at it

    start > run > type "cmd"

    then type "dmg2iso.exe <filename.dmg> <filename.iso>"
