I'm trying to use Disc Copy to mount an image, but its not letting me. It keeps telling me that the file type is not recognized, but it is a .dmg file. Can someone possibly help me out? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

yeah im sure its not corrupt, i got it from a friend who has used the file multiple times with no problems at all. even whenim navigating through the files to mount while using disc copy, dmg files wont even show up. i select desktop to browse for my desired files and every file is there except my dmg files, i dont get it

Mmmm, are dmg's associated with disk utility? That's strange... Can you right click and re-associate them?
What do you mean by reassociate? sorry im kind of new to mac's i kow some stuff but sometimes i have no idea what im doing. Im assuming you mean change the filetype? i dont think that would help because i need to mount this specific type of file.

Right click on the file, or hold ctrl and click on it. Choose Open with. And then Choose Other. In the requester, click the "always open with..." button and select Disk Utility.
Although Disk Utilities can create and edit disk image files, the default handler for these files is DiskImageMounter. This headless utility taken over disk image mounting duties from DiskCopy, which has been otherwise folded into Disk Utilities.mkrishnan said:
