It turns out a dev going by the name of ' cvad' from Russia, created the tool we've all been looking for (before Windows XP time!). List of threads that have non-working solutions: Multiple failed attempts later, and multiple attempts with different images, and a different USB - i came to the conclusion that TransMac is rubbish Tried TransMac multiple times (and it takes over 10 hours to burn the image). Many hours later, ive downloaded multiple macOS images from multiple sources.

(this is was my research led me to believe). Everyone who failed, failed because they didn't do the 'DiskPart' first.

The next part was to use "TransMac" - the "only tool for Windows" that could burn the mac image. The trick involves using Windows Disk Part - 'select disk' - 'convert gpt' - etc etc
