Mounting Error

[malebolgia Veteran]

Ran into an interesting problem, my girlfriends Mac cannot mount .dmg files (haven't tested any other files). My first thought was that the .dmg file was corrupt, but I was able to install the same file on a different Mac. Here is the error I'm getting, when I double click on the .dmg file:

error 0xe00002c9

The only thing I have tried is repairing the permissions (through the Disk Utility).

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Did a Google search and came up with this: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?sto...080127213553144

So I guess I'd try to see if there's any Software Updates available and download/install them. See if that fixes the issue.

Tiger,

The normal diagnostic steps to most OS X problems go like this,

Check for any possible updates

Run Disk Utility, Repair Permissions, then Repair Drive/Filesystem/Disk (Need to be booted on OS 10 DVD)

Run the Onyx automation scripts

If you do all of them and it still dosnt fix it then i'm pretty confused.. :D

The OS is Tiger.

Thanks for the link Hurmoth, but alas the problem precists.

I'll let you guys know the status of the 'Repair Drive/Filesystem/Disk' option when I reboot the mac using the OS DVD, when I get home.

Looks like a good time to upgrade to 10.5 ;)

If the problem persists, do an archive and install.

What about a different DMG on the same mac?

Any kind of .dmg will make the cannot mount error occur. :(

Try logging into the system with a different user account to eliminate a user profile issue.

Also re-apply the latest combo update if the disk repair doesn't bring up any errors.

Radish?

Problem is that the combo updates are distributed through dmg.

Did you give the Onyx scripts a go? Wait, thats DMG again... bugger.

I'm afraid i'm going with Giga, Leopard or Reformat
