Thanks Richard1 but this recommends Power ISO which is a PC only program...

You should be able to run the program on your intel iMac under Bootcamp or Parallels

Thanks but as far as I know don't have either Parallels or Bootcamp on the intel. The intel is the 'kids' mac, I use my powerbook ;-))

Surely there must be a mac program available somewhere?

.daa files are proprietary to PowerISO and cannot be opened by any other applications. My suggestion would be to download the trial of Crossover onto the iMac http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
Then download PowerISO onto the iMac and install it using crossover and convert the .daa to and iso. Your other option is to purchase a licensed copy of Windows XP Pro SP2 and either purchase VirtualPC (for you powerbook) or Parallels (for the iMac), or bootcamp the iMac and install Windows that way.
