Got the image OK, but get "no mountable file systems" msg
Authored by: ckbarlow on Oct 09, '07 05:31:30AM

I used dd overnight to copy a suddenly unmountable 120GB drive to a directory on a 500GB drive. The resulting DMG file shows up fine.

When I double-click to mount the image, though, I first get a "file may be damaged; do you still want to open?" message. I confirm the open, but then I get a result of "no mountable file systems."

Does this mean I have a boot sector error and am out of luck?
Thanks!
