Creating Disk Images for viewing on a PC

I created a data dvd of information for work on my iMac by dragging the folders that I needed onto the DVD.  I then burned it in my super drive.  I put the completed DVD into a pc and navigated through the files.
I created an image file (dmg and cdr) of the DVD on my iMac for future use in case someone else wanted a copy of the information.
When I burn the dmg or cdr image to a DVD, I can navigate through it with my iMac without any problems but when I put DVD into a PC, the PC says that it is a blank disk.
I guess my question is, how do I create an image so that I can burn it and use it on either a mac or a pc?

I created the image from a disk.  I put the DVD I wanted to image in the super drive, opened Disk Utility, selected the DVD from the left side of the Disk Utility window.  I then went to the menu:  File - New - Disk Image From <Name of the DVD>.  I tried to use different image formats (Read/Write, DVD/CD Master).
When I went to copy the dmg file, I selected it and then Burned it.  It is readable in my iMac but not on a PC.

  • Creating Disk Image for Solaris 8 Admin Pack

    Hi,
    When I download the zip files "Software CD Image" for Solaris 8 Admin Pack / Solstice AdminSuite 3.0 and "Documentation CD Image", I get a zip file containing the contents of an installation disk (ie files and directories) rather than ISO files for creating a disk.
    lf I then burn these to a CD (in either UDF or 9660 format) and try to install, it fails for various reasons, not least of which is the fact that the top level installation file does not have X permission. I know that I could copy these files to the Sun, change permission and run from there, but for various reasons I also need to be able to install from CD.
    Does anyone know either how to create a CD with the correct format / file permissions / etc, or alternatively where the correct ISO's can be retrieved?
    Thanks in advance.

    Partition before installing, then try it. Alternatively, use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! to put a bootable backup/clone onto the partition. That gives you something that you can immediately verify. A disk image requires restoring before you can be assured that it's viable. I've beta-tested Panther through Snow Leopard and have never made a disk image, only clones. Finally, creating the disk image takes much more time to create than does the clone. Just my 2¢. BTW, the image is useless unless you can successfully restore it. I have no idea why it's not working for you.

  • Cannot create disk image iDvd 7.1.2 (multiplex error)

    I'm at my wits end and extremely disappointed.
    Basically, I've gone through the threads that I can find, I'm down to importing a basic movie directly into iDvd.  No menus.  No options enabled (that I'm aware of). 
    When I go through the iDvd process of creating a disk image all goes smoothy until the very end when I get a multiplexor error (no error code or text saying why). 
    Extremely frustrating.  This is on a new Macbook Pro running 10.7.2.  I don't have problems with my other Apple systems, just this new one.  Perhaps Apple would like to take it back??

    Hi
    Multiplexing Error
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) -
    one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error

    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs

    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.

    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.

    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.

    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
    One user more writes
    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • What's the best way to create disk images?

    of 300GB  hard drives or partitions?
    Disk utility is failing for me with an input/output error.
    A typical example:
    I have a new HFS+ 500GB external FW 800 drive that I am using a destination.
    I will boot from my original 'install' DVD and then open up disk utility to start the disk image creation.
    Note: my source is my "Macintosh HD" partition that is around 300GB.
    Everything looks like it is running well, then a couple hours into it, it fails... something like:
    "cannot create img.. blah input/output error".
    Note: Verify Disk shows no errors on the source.
    One guess is that the img creation process is failing after I leave the computer and perhaps my computer falls asleep. I tried setting the 'Energy Saver' prefs in the systems prefs, but of course, since I'm running off the install DVD, I wasn't able to get into the prefs.
    Anyway, ultimately, I need to create periodic disk images of my macs.. so what are people using to do this?
    Thanks for the comments!
    Donovan

    Eric, Carbon Copy Cloner is what I was leaning towards. The owner says his guess is that there are bad blocks on my HD, and since Disk Utility is block based, that it is failing where CCC is file based, and will just skip files that are corrupted or that it can't copy.
    I guess I'll roll with that for now.. but it would be nice if the Disk Utility logs spit out a more descriptive log.. instead of "could not create disk image, input/output error".
    Thanks!

  • Disk Utility Error 61 when attempting to create disk image on external driv

    I would like to make occasional archive backups of my three macintosh computers. I bought a new Western Digital 2TB drive for this purpose, and formatted it as Mac OS Extended. Trying to do a disk image backup using Disk Utility, I follow the directions:
    - Startup from an install DVD.
    - Start Disk Utilities and select "Restore"
    - Drag "Macintosh HD" into the Source box
    - Click on "New Image" and select compressed and 128-bit AES encryption
    This leads to the error message: Unable to create "....." (error -61)
    I have enocountered this problem both with my iMac G5 and a MacBook, both running Leopard.
    Does anyone know what this error means, what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is another way to create disk image backups? Help!

    1. For reasons I don't know disc images seem to become more fragile the larger they get. They also can be subject to file corruption that affects the entire disc image, whereas file corruption on a clone would only affect certain files.
    2. You cannot put multiple clones on the same volume. Each clone must be on a separate volume, but you can have multiple volumes on a single drive simply by partitioning the drive accordingly. Of course you need a drive large enough to accommodate each clone. Each clone should be to a space equal to the capacity of the cloned drive.
    3. I'm not a big fan of TM, although I must confess it has become more reliable since it's release, especially with Snow Leopard. However, there are many backup utilities that can create clones, perform incremental updates, and archive changed files. See the following:

  • Can't create disk image of external disk

    I just switched from a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4, to a MacBook Pro running 10.5. I'm trying to create a disk image of the old machine's hard disk, as a backup. Before doing this, I ran Disk Utility to make sure none of my disks were in need of repair.
    I started up the old machine in Target Disk mode and connected it to the new one. In Disk Utility, I selected the disk, and clicked Create Disk Image. I told it to save the disk image as uncompressed and writable, on a disk that has plenty of space. So it chugs along for about an hour, creating an 80GB image.
    Then once the image is done, I try to mount it and get an error, saying that the disk image has no mountable file systems. I've done this four times already, each time with the same result. In addition, if I try to restart after creating the image, the system hangs.
    Any ideas why this might be happening? Are there any known bugs with Disk Utility in Leopard? Interestingly, I tried to do the same thing with Carbon Copy Cloner, and ran into a different error (it thought that it couldn't mount the newly-created image).

    Yesterday I bought a Maxtor Basic external harddrive for my mac.
    Followed the instructions, using Disk Utility, formatted the hd, then I tried to create a 60 gb blank encrypted disk image but failed twice; after clicking 'Create', Disk Utility does not prompt to create a password.
    First time Disk Utility just hangs; there's no respond for 30mins, so i force quit it and reformatted the drive, again.
    Then I tried to create a 10mb encrypted disk image and the box appears to enter a password, so I presume it was working fine.
    Again, I tired to create the 60gb blank image. This time, i left it overnight, thinking maybe it just takes a longer time. No prompt for passwords, and in the morning, the msg I got was 'No drive found' or something like that, because the drive has ejected itself. (???)
    Anyone has any idea why? I could create the image on my mac and throw it in the external drive, but my mac onlyhas 15 gb of space.
    Let me know if this sounds like a problem with the Maxtor so I could exchange it ASAP.

  • Cannot create disk image in Disk Utility

    I just wanted to backup my HD before I upgraded to tiger again .. had my main HD go flakey on me and had to resort to my back up jaguar drive - You're a genius and this worked for me .. as I got the device busy message as well. I figured it was because I was on my start up drive, but didn't have the extra OS drive anymore to switch start up disks to do this.
    Thanx so much for your answer!!!
    Try this. Open disk utility and highlight your
    MacintoshHD(the one you want to copy). In the
    options inside the
    window(FirstAid-Erase-RAID-Restore) choose restore.
    For the source--The Top field--Drag the highlighted

  • Creating disk image & time machine question

    I have really screwed the pooch here. I run Adobe photoshop CS2 and Acrobat Pro 7.0 on my mac. I lost the install disks in a move last year, BUT I had created a backup disk image for both and had them saved in a folder on my backup drive. Last week, when I had to take my mac in for hardware issues, I needed to do a backup of my data files and didn't have enough space on my backup drive, so I accidentally deleted that folder with all my install files. I have my licensing info for both programs - so that's not the issue - the issue is trying to figure out how I can locate either replacement disks or .dmg install files for the programs. I've searched the Internet, posted in Adobe forums but no luck. I called Adobe and they told me they don't offer disks or files for previous versions and asked me if I wanted to upgrade.
    So I have 2 questions:
    1. If anyone knows where I can get my hands on disks or disk image files for installing these two programs
    2. Is it possible to create a disk image of an install (.app) file? I know how to create a disk image of an install disk, I've done it before. But I was wondering if there's a way to make one of an install file.
    I know that I have time machine and have backed up my HD and apps. But I am extra paranoid now that I don't have a backup of the install files...and god forbid if I had to do a reinstall and for some reason my time machine backup fails me. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Jen

    Check through the TM backup and see if you've those images. You might get lucky, but since you moved those to the ext HD you might be up the proverbial creek without the paddle.
    1. Check ebay and buy replacement disks
    2. You can put anything into a disk image. Whether or not that'll allow you to use it to install something is another question.

  • Creating Disk Image Freezes

    I'm attempting to do a full backup of my boot drive to an external hard drive using Disk Utility to create a disk image.  For some reason, it always gets to a certain point, and then locks up.  This morning when I came into the office, it was locked up on the task "Adding Resources".  I've successfully created disk images of other workstations on this hard drive, but for some reason have been unsuccessful with my main workstation. 
    Anyone have any thoughts as to why this is happening?  Does Carbon Copy Cloner create a full disk image just as good as Disk Utility?  I find it odd that I don't have to unmount the disk that CCC is creating a disk image from.  Thoughts?
    Thanks
    Dave

    It is also able to create a disk image.  I have multiple .dmg backups of all my workstations on one HD.  I would need to reformat that drive in order to clone, because I need to create a partition for each workstation I back up.

  • How do I create a disk image for windows 7, using a windows computer for USB bootcamp for mac?

    Hi There, I have just bought a new 2013 iMac.
    Spec: 3.4 GHz intel core i5, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Memory , NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB Graphics with OS X 10.9.4.
    How can I create a 'disk image' from a windows 7 professional 64bit installation DVD using a windows laptop with windows 7 Operating system on? I want to transfer this 'disk image' (ISO?) to a USB ready for installing windows onto my 2013 iMac using bootcamp?  I want to use bootcamp from a USB as I have no disk drive for the installation DVD on my iMac. I hope all this is clear.
    Thank you. Joe

    Yes, that's correct, at least not directly. You can create a blank disk image, copy the file to the mounted disk image, then burn the image to a CD/DVD.
    Open Disk Utility and select Blank Disk Image from the New menu. Provide a name, Save location, and select the image size from the drop down menu. Leave Encryptions at None and Format as read/write. Click on the Create button.
    After the image file appears the "removable" disk should be automatically mounted. If not double-click on it to mount it. A "removable" disk icon will appear. Drag the file you want to place on the disk image to the "removable" disk icon. The eject the "removable" disk icon. Now select the disk image file in the DU left side list and click on the Burn icon in the DU toolbar. Be sure to have a blank disc ready.
    The above is actually the "long" way to do this. A much easier way is to simply insert a blank CD or DVD into the optical drive. The Finder will pop up a dialog asking what to do. Select the option to mount on the Desktop. You will now see a disc icon on the Desktop. Drag the file you want to burn to the CD/DVD, right-click or CTRL-click on the disc icon and select Burn from the contextual menu.

  • Unable to create a disk image for mass deployment or to restore on other

    I am attempting to create a master 10.5 Leopard image that can be deployed to other Macs, but the restore process fails with the following error:
    *Restore Failure. Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagedscanned/scanned for restore.*
    I setup the master as I want it. I've booted from another drive and used Disk Utility to create a new image from Folder. (If I try to create a new image from drive, I get an error that the disk is in use.) I've run the checksum. I've run the scan image for restore. All process with out any errors.
    The error mentioned above occurs when I try to restore the image to another computer.
    Has anyone else been able to make a master image for deployment without using Leopard Server?

    Hello,
    I am also getting a similar error, but not trying to create an image, but rather reading one I created before upgrading to Leopard. I was having some HD trouble (power surge during install of Quicktime 7.3) that put my HD in any unstable state (resistant to Disk Utility/Disk Warrior,) but fortunately, I'd cloned the HD w/ SuperDuper (anticipating possible trouble during the upgrade.) I then made a disk image of the BOOTCAMP partition on another drive. Now, after re-formatting the HD, installing Leopard and partitioning for Bootcamp, I am unable to scan the image before restoring the disk image to the HD. It might be a FAT32 thing, but I don't think so.
    The error is: Unable to scan "disk0s3.dmg". (Invalid argument)
    The disk utility log is:
    2007-11-08 20:33:43 +0100: Scanning image “disk0s3.dmg”
    2007-11-08 20:33:53 +0100: cannot scan read/write images.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
