DMG "no mountable file system" created when booting Leopard DVD

I was in the process of rebuilding my managers MacBook but I decided to make a full disc image before messing with any of her data. I plugged in a firewire hard drive and booted off my Leopard DVD. I selected the internal hard drive and clicked the new image button. Saved the image to the external. No errors were reported. Everything ran fine. Made a 50.3GB image file.
I them selected the internal HD and selected Restore and used our corp image file for and restored the internal drive with our image. I rebooted ran some updates joined it to the domain. Now it was ready for her user data. I went to mount the image of her data and it gives me "No mountable files system".
I have tried LOTS of things to get back at her data. I have used Data Rescue II, Disc Warrior, trying terminal commands listed in the following threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8036718
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1218394&tstart=0
When I do the command "hdiutil udifxmldet <yourbrokenimage>" it tells me no XML data is present. Data Rescue II shows me all the files in the image but when I try to restore them all the data is 0 bytes. When I scavenge the data files it gives me files with random names and some data but a 2 page PDF file is 100MB and there is no file large enough to be her entourage database. So somehow things are kind of smushed together.
Is there any way to recover this data properly? He last backup, which she is responsible for doing on her own, was 6 weeks ago. But i know I will never hear the end of it if I lose 6 weeks of her data.
Please help if possible. Her MacBook is still under AppleCare and the Leopard DVD is a licensed retail copy though the computer is actually runnning 10.4.11 I used the Leopard dvd to make the image. And yes I tried opening the image with a leopard machine.

If you failed to mount the image after initially creating the image (a bootable backup/clone would have been a better option); then, I surmise that her stuff is gone. Sorry, but I have nothing else to offer.

No mountable file system error when open dowloaded dmg

I was provided a link to dowload Fireworks CS3 for Mac. The link allowed me to connect to the adobe ftp server and downloaded a 1.1MB dmg for Fireworks for Mac. However, when I attempt to open the file I get the following error: "The following disk images failed to mount, no mountable file systems". Note the file size seems too small for the full program, but I have downloaded it twice with no error messages on downloading and same file size.
Previously posted under Fireworks but no responses....any ideas?

You have an incomplete file. there is no way that a 1.1MB file could contain the app Fireworks. redownload the complete file and it will mount.

Dmg - no mountable file systems

I am running 10.3.9 - all my dmg files now come back with this warning: The following disk images failed to mount
Image: <dmg>
Reason: no mountable file systems
I've got no multiple users (just me) no file sharing no file protection that I can think of and this just strated out of the blue
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It really depends how you're acquiring these .dmg files. If you're saying that you've got some .dmg files on your Mac that you've had for some time and that you used to access and now cannot, then I'd be concerned that you've a disk problem. In this case I'd run First Aid from Disk Utility or run your Apple Hardware Test CD and see what responses you get. It never hurts to Repair Permissions as well... Oh, and verify your disk's SMART status - you'll find this by highlighting your HDD in the left-column in Disk Utility, and the SMART status is reported in the pane at the bottom. It should read Verified. Otherwise, I'd make a backup ASAP.
If you're saying that every .dmg file that you are downloading recently has reported this error, then it may be that these are simply corrupt, especially if they're all coming from the same source (e.g. P2P, the same website, etc.).
You may want to check out this thread at another discussions board. The reply from Silversleeves should help.
Good Luck.
SiR G.

My Backup.dmg is not mounting: No mountable file systems

I had Mac OS X Leopard running with Boot Camp (Windows Vista). I needed extra space for my Mac OS so I deleted the Windows partition using the Boot Camp Assistant. Then, I shut down the computer, but after I turned it on, there was the flashing question mark, which meant that the computer couldn't recognize the Macintosh operating system that was installed. Therefore, I put in the Mac OS Install Disk, and tried to repair the disk but it said invalid BS_jmpBoot in block 000000. Seeing this, I decided to reinstall Mac OS X, but backing up with Disk Utility: Create New Compressed .DMG Image before doing so. After a successful installation, I tried to mount the image, but it says No Mountable File System. I feel hopeless, because all of my precious data was backed up in that disk image. When I try to verify or repair that disk using Disk Utility, it says Unrecognized File System. Are all the files on that image corrupt and impossible to recover, or is it possible to recover those files (but of course, losing some files, since the image appears to be corrupt).

Again, if you cannot mount the image then there's no way to recover the files. If the image would mount then you could try repairing it with Disk Utility or try using recovery software to recover files from it. But if it doesn't mount then there's nothing you can do with it.
If you want to try you can see if recovery software can find files on it. See the following:
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
You can download trial versions of the software. The trials can be used to see if the software can recover anything, but then you must purchase the software to actually do any file recovery.

Years of data gone, backup DMG won't mount "No mountable file systems"

Could someone help me here, I have this problem.
The reason for this was that I ran into some complications with my boot camp windows install and wanted to start over. After returning the boot camp FAT partition space to Mac OS X it froze while attempting to create a new boot camp partition. "Boot Camp Assistant" suggested I backup my "Macintosh HD" and re-partition my HD because "some files could not be moved." Ok so, I backed-up my "Macintosh HD" volume to a DMG using Disk Utility selecting the volume and clicking new image icon, it is compressed, it is Leopard. I then booted with Leopard install DVD and began the restore process. Everything was working smoothly until the progress bar stopped animating, waited awhile and forced restart. When I restarted my internal HD had only an "Applications" folder which ended its contents with a half copied iDVD.app preceded by 73 other apps successfully restored. Now worst of all my Backup DMG produces the "No mountable file systems" error. Help, oh please help!

Ok, here is the output. It shows there is a problem with the resource fork XML, just like yours Shad Guy. If only their were some specs available I could try to fix it myself. An Apple engineer could most likely fix this in 20 min.
Also, thanks for your help man, having people tell me to give up is the worst.

Corrupt DMG file - "No Mountable File Systems"

Hello, I have an important backup DMG file that I can't mount. When I try, I get this error..."No Mountable File Systems".
I have tried the following with no success...
- repairing the DMG in Disk Utility.
- converting the DMG in Disk Utility to a R/W image.
- Repair in Data Rescue 3
- Repair in Disk Warrior
- Repair in File Salvage (this actually recovered a single mp3 file, so this makes me think the data is still there)
- Repair in Stellar Phoenix
- Repair in Disk Drill
I have read on one of these forums (I can't seem to find it anymore) that someone had a similar issue and someone helped them through a lot of digging around in the broken file (something to do with headers?)...and in the end they managed to repair the broken DMG file. I would really like to repair this file, so just in case someone who knows how to fix this sort of thing, I've shared the file here...
files.me.com/jeffvandyck/x4qv9c
I have a few other files like this and would really like to recover those as well. I'm relatively technical, and once I understand what I'm looking for I can try to fix the others.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers,
Jeff

Problems mounting dmg images "no mountable file systems"

I have noticed with many DMG images I cannot open them. I constantly get an error "no mountable file systems".I sent the same DMG image to my friend on his Mac and he can open it, so it is on my side. I also have noticed my pen drive is not showing up on the desktop, but shows in disk utility. I have noticed these problems since I cloned and replaced my HD. I have also added a 50 GB partition to Boot Camp, if this should matter. Any idea??

repaired permissions and rebooted.
all ok now

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"

Problem with DMGs and error: "No Mountable File Systems"
The files are not corrupt. The problem is occurring with all DMGs that are apparently formatted in MS-DOS FAT16. No the file will not mount with Disk utility or any other disk mounter programs I have found.
This is now the second time this occurred and now effects my MBP and my iMac. First time i spent days with Apple support and the only solution was ultimately back up the data, reformat the HD, start over from scratch and reload everything. That lasted about a month before the problem resurfaced and is now an issue on both iMac and MBP.
I tried to identify all the programs I installed immediately before the error, as I am convinced it is the result of a software conflict.
Recent programs includes:
1) upgrading from Parallels 5.5 to 6.0 on both machines.
2) using an HP secure II usb drive and setting up a secure disk.
3) installing new itunes 10
4) new update to Flip For Mac.
The files affected are downloaded dmgs, including personal brain and google earth, both which are formatted in FAT16.
Any help or thoughts? Apple has now spent hours trying and they say i now have to reformat and wipe and start over. That is unacceptable and based on pasted experience the problem is likely to repeat itself. having to wipe and rebuild a HD ever month is not an solution. i need to fid the root problem.
In the meantime, anyone got a real solution on how to extract the data for a DMG using a different method?
Message was edited by: remaia

Where you able to find the solution, i am having the same problem, all was fine till i install some programs only same one i saw did we both did was flip4mac i uninstalled it but the problem is still there, i also restored and erased the hardrive but im not up to doing that all over again. If you found anything out let me know i would greatly appreciate it

Thanks Linc for responding to my post. I searched a little further and found I was missing a file. Once I downloaded the fix, I was able to install the software from the original download.

I am trying to download EndnoteX4 but keep getting the message 'no mountable file systems'. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

I am really unsure as to what I am doing wrong.
Maybe you are doing nothing wrong and the problem is with the disk.
Use SuperDuper or CarbonCopy Cloner
to clone your system to an external drive.
Then boot from your DVD go to Disk Utility and choose your entire drive > top icon in DIsk Utility.
Go to Erase tab. Choose format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Click on erase. Now, install Lion and when you get to setup assistant choose to migrate from your external drive.
This is slightly different than baltwo described and slighly longer but if there is any corruption on your disk a more through way to go, IMO.
What baltwo is saying is to clone your volume over to an external hard drive with CCC reformat and clone it back. This will defragment the files and make them all contiguous but will not address any directory problems.
Your choice. You can do it one way, then the other if it doesn't work out for you.

What "mountable file system" is xcode3.2.6 looking for on install?

I just updated my Mac Mini to OS X 10.6.8 after dowloading the xcode3.2.6+iOS DMG file. But now I am a little puzzled by the error message I get when I double-click to install: it fails with the message, "no mountable file systems".
I can find no special instructions in the readme file (downloaded separately), and I thought that it was only in the distant past that Apple required installs to be done from a separate filesystem. Hence the question: what "mountable file system" is it looking for? It is already ON a mounted file system.
Now speaking of that readme: when it starts talking about install from download (p4-5), it assumes the download yielded a .mpkg file. But I did not get this: I got a .dmg. Are they simply assuming the user knows the trick to get from DMG to MPKG?

You can check the disk image using the 'hdiutil' tool at the command line (Terminal.app):
hdiutil verify /Users/JD/Downloads/xcode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_for_snow_leopard.dmg
... (specify the path of your disk image that you downloaded). There should be several lines of output, and if the image is good, the last line should look something like this:
hdiutil: verify: checksum of "/Users/JD/Downloads/xcode_4.2_and_ios_5_sdk_for_snow_leopard.dmg" is VALID
... if it's not good, you'll see a variety of complaints and issues spit out.
The files are served and downloaded via the HTTP protocol which doesn't provide any particular validation on data transfer outside of what little negotiation happens at the TCP protocol layer. There's no Firefox plugin that can fix that, nor option to wget.
If it took 11 hours to download, that's < 44kbps. You might want to choose something other than a dial-up connection to download such large files. It wouldn't be at all surprising for there to be a minor error over such a connection.

No mountable File System error while installing Flash Player

Hi all,
i've been having a no mountable file system error while installing Flash Player. At first i thought it was a problem with the download but i've tried many times and still have the same error when installing the player. I've attached a screenshot of the error message.
Hopefully someone can shed some light. I'm using a 2012 Mac Mini running Mountain Lion on a Fusion Drive.

Trouble downloading FileMaker Pro free trial (no mountable file systems)

Hi there,
I have been trying to download the free FileMaker Pro 30 day trial. My Mc says that it is downloaded but when I go to open it a box comes up saying 'no mountable file systems'. I've tried to open it with the disk utility and repair it but that doesn't work either.
Cheers in advance for any answers!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It's a faulty download and you need to get on to FileMaker about it.
Regards
TD

Are you using Time Machine on the drive? You can't view the contents of its backup database and the only way to access the info is directly from the Time Machine app.

Flash install fails hdutil: attach failed no mountable file systems

I've tried all suggested trouble tips to install the latest Flash 11. Dowload completes but install fails with:
hdutil: attach failed - no mountable file systems.
I have unistalled all prior flash files. Flash works OK in Chrome (it is built in and does not require a plug-in) but can't install using either Safari or Firefox. Same result in each case.
