cdr file and then manually renamed to the extension. Step 4: If you are creating the ISO image directly on the Mac using the Disk Utility process then the outputted file will need to be saved as. That ISO can then be moved across to the Retina MacBook Pro for use as part of this process. NOTE: If you don’t have access to an external drive that can be connected to the MacBook Pro, then it is possible to create an ISO disk image using one of many free of charge utilities directly from a Windows based PC. The simple Disk Utility application in Mac OS X allows a new disk image to be created from the inserted Windows DVD. An optical drive is a requirement for this process meaning that an external drive will need to be connected to the MacBook Pro.
