Restoring from sparse image
I've gone through the user's guide and I think I understand how this should work but I am running into a problem.
I have a sparse image located on an external firewire drive. I would like to restore my system using that image. I've booted off the Tiger install DVD and launched Disk Utility. I've opened the sparse image and can see that it is mounted. Next I select the empty partition on my internal drive and select Restore. Here is the problem: I cannot figure out how to specify my mounted image as the "source" for the restore. I click on the "Image" button and I can see the mounted image, but the "open" button remains grayed out no matter what I select. :( What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Cat |
Once you've mounted the image, you drag its volume from the sidebar into the source field.

Nothing in the sidebar seems to be draggable - when trying to drag I end up selecting multiple items in the sidebar... :( |

Ah, bummer, you have an early Intel Mac DVD. See this post on my blog, and you'll find a workaround in the comments.

Hm. That is rather surprising... it is fixed in later revisions of the Tiger Intel DVD.

Mention this in user's guide?
May I suggest including this information (about the bug in early Tiger DVDs) in the User's Guide? Or perhaps another more prominent place?
