Can a Win XP PC burn a .dmg formatted file intended for a Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther)?

I downloaded a utility program disc image (.dmg) from Apple support to my Windows XP PC. I need to run it on a Mac G4 using OS X 10.3.9 (Panther) with a boot up problem. Can I burn a Mac program with the.dmg file extention onto CD/DVD-R with my Windows XP PC that will be formated properly to boot up a Mac OS X 10.3?

    I have burned Windows programs (.EXE) to my Mac desktop and then transfered to a USB stick to be downloaded to a Windows machine and everything has worked out, If you can view the .DMG file on the XP PC you should be able to burn to a CD and mount it in OSX....

    This file format is in the form of a Mac OSX Disk image. You have to convert the .dmg to .iso. the software for converting is given below. Install the software and then convert the disk image and when it is converted to .iso burn it onto a dvd using any burning software like nero,etc.
