g9icy Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Hi all, The other day I was attempting to reorganise my hdd partitions, so i created a disk image of an ntfs partition (forgetting it was ntfs at the time). Disk utitlity then took about an hour to shrink the chosen partition from 30gb (on a part of 213gb) to around 500mb... Mightly impressed I continued to reorganise Now I come to restore the .dmg I get errors using disk utility. The errors are: "No mountable file systems" when mounting, and "Unable to make connection to helper tool" when trying to restore... I've tried using GetDataBack NTFS in windows and tried opening the .dmg in windows (using daemon tools). I've tried converting the .dmg to uncompressed read/write and cdr and various other types in an attempt to get at the data, get the same errors as before. As a last resort i'm now dd'ing a converted read/write dmg to the drive, but dont have high hopes of success... Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. -g9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
