"Error 22! Invalid argument" on Compressed NDIF
Authored by: spacemanspiff on Jul 26, '03 01:00:12AM

While the "expert mode" options are available, at least one of them doesn't really work. Has anyone else successfully created a compressed, old style ".img" file? I've tried both on my iBook with 10.2.6 and a G4 with a clean install of OS X. The exact message is "failed to convert due to error 22. (Invalid argument)" - anyone else had this problem and/or know understand what's causing it?

I'm surprised no one else has had this problem.

And it's not a missing "Temporary Items" folder.

I can create standard and compressed DMG files with no trouble, and I checked just to make sure it wasn't the missing "Temporary Items" folder issue that has been noted to cause this error.

On a side note, anyone have thoughts on using a disk image for Masters of Orion 3? I can't stand the way the play CD buzzes in my iBook drive, and therefor can't get into playing the game for hours on end. I was really hoping one of these new options would work, but it looks like I'm going to have to learn about the bowels of the OS to figure out how to put a disk image into the mount point of the CD-ROM drive...
