lasagnaguy Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hi, 1. Boot with your installation DVD 2. Use the Disk Utility to create a .dmg copy of your hard drive If you need to recover your data, you will be able to restore your hard drive with the .dmg file you created. I hope it is clear, I am poor in English... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DESAGREE Ive try to do this to backup/restore my osx system disk : i can easily backup my system disk within the install dvd diskutility but i never be able to restore my dmg file with the diskutility software from the install dvd (10.4.3 or 10.4.6) : the fonctionality drag drop your image file (source) to target (osx system disk after erased it) is disabled on the diskutility from dvd. Help me if you've got a solution, the only way i've found is to have 2 differents OSX system disks as to use the "full" system diskutility restore fonctionality from one of the osx system to restore the second with the dmg... I'll be very happy to do this with only one system disk and the install dvd : because i've use my second hard disk to install win XP....
