An Error 16 Occurred While Copying Mac

This discussion is locked Steven Garner Level 1 (5 points) Q: Disk Utility Ghosting I am wanting to ghost an exact installation/configuration of Mac OS X 10.4 eventually to a DVD. I took an external 30 GB Firewire drive (TOSHIBA MK3017GAS Media) on my PowerBook G4 and made 3 equal partitions.On partition 1 I installed Mac OS X Installer, so that I could install OS X directly from the hard drive volume to other hard drive volumes. The procedure worked flawlessly for this as outlined at:http://guides.macrumors.com/InstallingMac_OS_X_10.4_withoutDVDOn partition 2 I installed a working copy of OS X, updated, Xcode tools added, and configured with Webmin, PHP, MySQL, Asterisk, SNORT, MapServer, Apache, BIND, and CHROOTED OpenSSH, which I want to duplicate on multiple servers. I then made a new compressed disk image from disk (no encryption) using Disk Utility version 10.5.3 (198.5), saving the image to partition 3.I then erased partition 2, and used the Restore function of Disk Utility to attempt to restore the disk image to partition 2. It came back with "An error (16) occurred while copying. (Resource busy)". I then attempted to scan the image for restore - On the Restore panel it states "You can prepare a disk image for restoring by selecting 'Scan image for Restore' from the Images menu. This allows a volume to be checksummed after a disk image is restored." It came back with "Unable to scan "diskls14.dmg" - internal error".Somewhat flummoxed, I ran Disk Utility First Aid on the entire Firewire drive, and it came back with "Verify volume failed with error Could not unmount disk. 1 HFS volume checked. Volume passed verification." Indeed I could not unmount the volume or eject the drive from the desktop. After restarting the computer, I repeated everything doing Disk Utility First Aid first (which came up clean) - after repeating EVERYTHING above, I got the same erro

just got my computer back from Apple. They nuked everything I had on my drive and I am now trying to recover the data I saved in the Sparse Image, which I have copied http://www.shirt-pocket.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1305.html over from an external drive. In Disk Utility I constantly get the message that http://www.techsurvivors.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=12506 the hard drive is full. Can I safely select "Erase Destination Disk" and have all contents of the Sparse Image copied on to the hard drive? Or will the Erase Destination also erase the Sparse Image itself? One more question, is it safer to restore using the Saprse Image on the Powerbook or the one on my external an error drive? dnanian05-22-2006, 06:09 PMTo recover the data, you don't want to copy the image file itself to the drive. Rather, you want to copy its contents. See the "Recovering from a disaster" section of the User's Guide, Edward. It goes into detail about exactly how to do this, and I think will prove useful. Hope that helps! Edward05-22-2006, 06:42 PMDave, Thanks for the clarification. I have two follow-up questions: when I go an error 16 into Disk Utility to restore the Sparse Image on my hard drive, should I click "erase destination"? What I want to accomplish is removing the OS 10.2 with the OS 10.4.6 which resides in the Sparse Image. I just want to make sure that "erase destination" will let me reach this goal without messing up the hard drive. I assume that the Sparse Image has all of the libraries and "invisible files" that were on the original hard drive before i sent it to Apple. Second: in the User's Guide you say that I should restart the computer with the OPTION key held down. If I use "erase destination," do I still need to hold down this key? I'd think that the restored data would simply replace the OS 10.2 data and just let me log in as usual, withou any special key commands. Thanks in advance for your patience! dnanian05-22-2006, 07:23 PMYou won't need to use Option in this case. You'll need to use Tiger's Disk Utility to do it, using the "alternate" restore method described there. And, yes, you'll want to erase... Edward05-22-2006, 08:28 PMDave, I've followed all instructions for both a restoration with "erase destination" and without. With either option I get this message: An error (16) occurred while copying. (Resource busy

(No such file or directory)This error is really driving me nuts! I have repaired both the internal Hard Drive and External FireWire Hard Drive. Disk Utility repaired problems on the FireWire drive and then found no problems the second time. No problems were detected on the internal Hard Drive.After repairing the disk, i tried cloning the internal Hard Drive to the FireWire drive again andn got the same error at about the same time.No luck when calling AppleCare, and i can't afford to reformat the external FireWire hard drive since i have vital information on the disk from previous backups as well as other information just on the FireWire drive and not the internal drive (since i ran out of room on my 100gb internal hard drive.)My external FireWire drive is a Maxtor 250gb drive. I have 110gb free on that drive and 85 used on my internal drive in my PowerBook.Last time i had this problem, i cloned the disk using SuperDuper, however it is not possible to boot off of a Disk image created by SuperDuper, since it mandates that you erase the destination disk or use a Disk Image. I own ProSoft's Data Rescue II program, but that also
