A completely legal request

[Thom]

I have a copy of Windows on my Laptop that I have accquired legally, but I need to burn it onto a DVD-R, because I accidentally put it in the same format that programs come in when they've been downloaded as a torrent. OOPS! Now I'd really like to be able to run Windows on my Mac, who's done something similar to this with ACTUAL torrents (Which I haven't used) and think they can lend me a hand on MSN? What do you get in return? I'll try and be as bearable as possible.

how about giving a file extension or something? apps come in all different formats, regardless of where you get them from.

It's a DAA, apparently.

first, you need PowerISO as no other apps seem to support .daa files. im not sure where you get your torrents from, but mininova.org has a fuckton of torrents for the app.

once you have it installed you can extract the .daa to your hard drive and use those files to create a new .iso. alternatively, you can mount the .daa to a virtual cd/dvd-rom and just create an .iso directly from there.

once you have a new iso, you can burn it with any dvd burning program. and that's pretty much it.
