Hi,
I've downloaded a img file but unable to mount it. I've try DiskCopy, Stuffit and Toast, too, but none of it sucess. It said it has "no mountable file systems", or somekind of error 95....
anybody know if there is any tool that I can make this img file works?
Many thanks!

OUO

Author: Jaff [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 11:06:40 05/19/03 Mon I think NortonUtilities maybe.. by using its Disk Doctor. But I still feel that you can't repair the file coz some of it 'components' are missing. Norton or other utilities can't make up for the missing components. Maybe you should ask your friends who uses leased internet line or broadband internet to download the file for you...

Author: safian [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 02:48:04 09/26/03 Fri if it was made in OS X ...then it extension should read (.dmg). anyway try using Disk Copy in (appication>utilities folder) and try do a disc checksum . :-) ...If the verify checksum failed... i guess your disc image file (.img) is corrupted.
