Please help me! Hard drive failing, cloning errors...

[jasong]

Hey there.

I'd really appreciate some help here. I am on an extremely limited and inflexible schedule right now, and of course my hard drive decided to fail at the most inconvenient time in my life.

So, I have a new internal coming. The present drive is still kind of working but is wonky. I am trying to get a clone made using superduper so that I can use it to transfer my current drive to the new one coming.

I am going out to by a new external drive today, but right now, I am trying to clone using a disk image, and this is the error I am getting with that (the name of the disk image is "CLONE"):

Can someone please direct me!? I am desperate and I really don't have time to search through the archives. (I am sorry if that sounds rude or arrogant or something, but I am seriously freaking out here and need to get up and running ASAP --- )
