Apr 10, 2019 Not on the school network, iCloud, USB drive in a desk drawer, nothing? Blaming the Apple Store for the loss of data isn't really appropriate. Sorry to say, but I don't think there's much hope. You'll need another Mac to try and open the DMG file (a Mac proprietary compressed disk image), or possibly Linux with HFS/+ support.

DMG is a disk image format used on Mac OS X and it is difficult to open on Windows computer. So, the guide below will let you people give a way to open DMG files on Windows through a free utility name HFSExplorer. Continue reading after the break to read the complete process to do that.

How to Extract DMG File Data on Windows

Step-1

Download and install HFSExplorer on your PC

Step-2

Just follow the installation wizard of HFSExplorer and check mark the box followed by 'Register .dmg file association' while you reach on this screen

Step-3

On completion of HFSExplorer install process, you will observe that all DMG files on your computer will get associated to HFSExplorer software.

Step-4

Now, double click on your DMG file to whom you want to open

Step-5

In an explorer window all of the contents of your DMG file will display, so select the file of your choice and click on 'Extract' button

Step-6

Just choose the destination folder on your computer and click on 'Extract here' button

Step-7

Click on 'Yes' button while it asks for 'Do you want to follow symbolic links while extracting'

Step-8

Extraction will start and on completion 'Extraction finished' message will display, so click on 'OK' and that's it

When a 'corrupt' disk image file really isn't corrupt

I'll definitely keep this information in mind...
btw, it's 'hdiutil', not 'hdutil' (obviously just a typo, otherwise there wouldn't have been any output from the 'attach' or 'imageinfo' subcommands).

When a 'corrupt' disk image file really isn't corrupt

Not the same problem but this may help a few users out there. Once in a blue moon I will download a file which should be an installer, it could be any kind of file however, and when I click on it it usually opens in script editor.
Often this files are named like 'Worlds Greatest program 1' Changing them to 'Worlds Greatest program 1.0' will usually make the program work. Sometimes just adding any dot and number will work. You will be asked if you want to add the extension, just say yes. I don't know why this happens but the fix is easy.

When a 'corrupt' disk image file really isn't corrupt
I just checked on a computer running Panther, and it has 'bunzip2' installed as a part of the BSD.pkg - I think the BSD subsystem was included in the standard install and would normally have been installed unless explicitly excluded. So if attempting to open a disk image in 10.3 gives a corrupt image error, use and if the output indicates 'bzip2 compressed data', then try something like to see if it can be converted to something that can be opened normally. I get some 'trailing garbage' error during the process, but the output file seems to work ok.

Some preliminary observations:
Disk images created directly using hdiutil create -format UDBZ don't bunzip properly.
Those converted to UDBZ (originally created using 'Disk Utility' or hdiutil without specifying a format) seem to work after bunzip2, but only using Panther's bunzip2 - Tiger's bunzip2 doesn't unzip them properly.
Anyone have any ideas to account for the differences in the UDBZ images created by the two methods, and the different behaviours of bunzip2 under 10.3 and 10.4?

Developers: When you do make a UDBZ image, put 'Requires OS X 10.4 or later' immediately under your download link/button. Leave no doubt as to the minimum requirement of your app.
