Can't Restore from Image.

[Joshua]

Hi all,

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I thought I'd give it a try. I think this is more of a problem with Tiger, but here goes...

Okay, I created an image of my MB's HD using SuperDuper onto a FireWire drive because I'm upgrading to a bigger HD.

When I try to restore onto the new HD, booting onto the OS X Tiger install disk, and selecting erase destination, I get a "An error (1) occurred while copying. (Operation not permitted)" error.

I've tried every conceivable way of restoring but cannot for the life of me figure this out, I didn't think it would be this hard!

Any suggestions are greatly needed.

Thanks.

If you used a sparse image, you need to mount the image first, then use its volume as the source for the restore... see the User's Guide for more, under "Recovering from a disaster".

I guess I should have added that, but yes, the image is a sparse image. See the attached pic for all the details.

Also, I searched online and Apple's forums but couldn't find anything.

I've also repaired permissions multiple times but nothing.

OK. Try erasing the destination with Disk Utility (directly), then copy without erasing.

I won't be able to do that, since I'll be erasing the OS I'm running.

Right?

Oh wait, I forgot.

If I'm using Disk Utility form the install disc I won't have that problem...nevermind.

I'll try and post back.

Thanks.
