Failed to mount using disk images?

[dyoken]

I am preparing to set up a computer to backup over the network, but decided to connect the computer directly to the backup drive for the initial backup before setting it up on the airport extreme.

So I am doing a smart update using a Disk Image on the network volume, but everytime I try to do this, I get an error "Failed to mount MacBook Pro Backup" on the second line under Part 1.

Then looking in the log, it says:

...

| 04:48:13 PM | Info | ......COMMAND => Mounting MacBook Pro Backup
| 04:48:13 PM | Error | 2007-03-28 16:48:13.133 hdiutil[349] CFLog (21): dyld returns 2 when trying to load /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin.bundle/Contents/MacOS/VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin

This last line is in red.

I have no idea what to do. Virtual PC is not loaded on my computer, and I tried to deleted the referred to plugin file, but that didn't help.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am getting the same issue. The disk image is created by SuperDuper! but fails to mount. If I double click the image after superduper fails it will mount but if I run super duper again it fails with the same error. I also can not delete the disk image or unmount the network server until I log out and back into OSX. The file always seems to be busy. I have no problems with this setup on my G5 imac to the same drive.

System Specs: MacBook Pro Core Duo 2.16, 2GB Ram, 10.4.9, Wireless to Airport Extreme Disk (1TB Fantom USB)

OK. Delete /Library/Plug-ins/DiskImages/VirtualPCDiskImagePlugin.bundle and restart. That's a leftover from Virtual PC that's not Intel compatible.

[dfbackup]

That worked. Thanks for the quick reply.

Deleting that specific file was the first thing I did, but it didn't resolve the problem unfortunately...Any other suggestions perhaps? And do you have any insight into why SD! would call up a plugin relating to outdated legacy software when it tries to mount a disk image?

Thanks in advance for your help with this.

So you are saying even when you deleted it you still got the error that the plugin could not load? Very odd. I did retart after I deleted mine but that is all I did and now it works fine.

[dnanian]

I'd need to see the error you're getting, Dave.

[dyoken]

Not a problem. I will get it to you as soon as I can. Thanks Dave!
