    Is making an image on a PC same as a mac?


    OK! I know this is a windows forum - but - I have always had such good advice here...

    I am very familiar with a PC - but I have to take an image of a OS X 10.4 Mac OS.

    Here is what I would like to do....

    1. Back Up the MAC OS
    2. Reinstall this in a virtual machine.

    Anyone recommend a good way to do this? Thanks!!

    (BTW I am not offended if no one answers! After all this is a windows forum!!)
