Aug 13, 2018 The DMG mounts in two places: on your desktop and in the Finder sidebar under your hard drive. Clicking either one of these opens the DMG file. When you open a DMG file, you’ll usually see two things: the app and a link to your applications folder. Some DMGs—like the Steam DMG shown above—have styled backgrounds. The speed of the extraction depends on the size of the DMG file and the speed of your PC. When the extraction is finished, you can browse the files in a regular File Explorer window. You can view or edit the files using any of the regular File Explorer features or whatever apps you use.

Nov 13, 2007 ok, So I have a read-only DMG that I need to be able to edit the contents of. I have duplicated this image as many ways I can think of. I have used Carbon Copy Cloner to create a (Read-Write) sparse image of it, when I get info on the DMG it says I (my user) have read-write access.

This post is very useful if you have ever needed to make a readonly mac .dmg file writable. Say for instance that you wanted to create a Mac OS X install disk, then mount it up writable, add something to it and then save it to be used to install OS X in say “VMware”. Listed below are the steps to make this happen:

From Terminal:
###This creates a writable dmg image###
hdiutil convert nameoffile.dmg -format UDRW -o nameoffile_writable.dmg

###This tells you the size of the image###
hdiutil resize -limits nameoffile_writable.dmg

###This resizes your dmg image so that you will have space to add stuff to it. Make sure you substitute the first number from the previous command and add to it sufficiently for the 9999etc. number###
hdiutil resize -sectors 999999 nameoffile_writable.dmg
