Can be mounted like an optical disc (such as a CD or DVD) or a disk drive (like an external hard drive); resides on the hard drive, but is recognized by the computer as a disc or hard disk when mounted.

IMG files, which were used by Mac OS 9 and earlier versions of the Mac OS, were replaced by the newer .DMG disk image format in Mac OS X.
