and external Macintosh HD.dmg image.To my horror, the computer responds with Restore FailureCould not validate source - error 254HELP! This image could not validate source - error 254 disk utility has my only back up of my macbook. Any ideas?How did I get here? My mac would not update its firmware has it turned out my ungraded harddrive still had a MBR partition scheme and restore failure could not validate source error 254 not a GUID partition scheme. So I booted from the install disk, then (and perhaps this is my problem) I went into the disk utility after selecting language but prior to selecting continue. I imaged the Macintosh HD to an external USB hard drive. As per the previous email, I repartitioned the hard drive to GUID, after realizing that I needed to press continue on the install menus. Once partitioned

I went to restore image from the previously saved image.I now get this error.I am going to proceed with a fresh install of OSX (I'm assuming I will be able to open up the image and get my data off it again) but if you can come up with a way to just restore the image I would be hugely thankfull.

I would like to know the cause of this, and what I can do to avoi

ISO image to a USB key Mac OSX : How to burn an ISO image to a USB key on February 9, 2014 in Apple, How To Geek If you have tried to http://endlessgeek.com/2014/02/mac-osx-how-to-burn-an-iso-image-to-a-usb-key/ create a bootable USB key from aniso image in Mac OSX using Disk Utility then https://tinyapps.org/blog/mac/201503190700_restore_failure.html you have probably encountered the frustrating and almost Windows-like cryptic error message “Could not validate source – Invalid argument” error. Looking in the system log via theConsole app I suspect this is because internallyDiskUtil tries to run /usr/sbin/asr to verify the image, which fails. $ asr imagescan --source ubuntu-rescue-remix-12-04.iso only UDIF and NDIF images can be scanned. asr: image scan failed could not - Invalid argument. 123 $ asr imagescan --source ubuntu-rescue-remix-12-04.isoonly UDIF and NDIF images can be scanned.asr: image scan failed - Invalid argument. UDIFandNDIF are image formats used by Apple, and Disk Utility is pretty hopeless with anything that falls outside of these standards. The iso standard is short forISO9660 and is a standard that defines the format of an image intended for burning to CD. Even after usinghdutil to convert the image to UDRO (a UDIF could not validate Read-Only image) Disk Utility will still stubbornly refuse to help. Disk Destroyer Duplicator to the rescue Being Unix based, OSX has the command linedd utility available. Short for Disk Duplicator, dd is a block level reader/writer that makes raw copies from one file to another. But you want to copy the image to a device, right? That’s fine, because everything in the world of Unix/Linux is a file – even devices. Informally referred to as Disk Destroyer, should you tell dd to output to the wrong device then your day is definitely going to be spoiled, so to avoid any mishaps we will make sure we know which devices on your system is your USB stick. You can determine this from the command line: Shell $ ls -la /dev/disk* brw-r----- 1 root operator 1, 0 9 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk0 brw-r----- 1 root operator 1, 2 9 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk0s1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 1, 4 9 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk1 brw-r----- 1 root operator 1, 5 9 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk1s1 12345 $ ls -la /dev/disk*brw-r-----1 rootoperator1, 09 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk0brw-r-----1 rootoperator1, 29 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk0s1brw-r-----1 rootoperator1, 49 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk1brw-r-----1 rootoperator1, 59 Feb 07:49 /dev/disk1s1 Each physical device will be listed as /dev/disk0, /dev/disk1, /dev/disk2 etc. Each partition on e.g. disk0, is listed as /dev/disk0s1, /dev/disk0s2, /dev/disk0s3 and so on. In the above example, /dev/disk0 is
did not work either, returning Source volume format on device "/dev/disk3" is not valid for restoring. Could not validate source - error 254. By happy chance, I stumbled onto Max's answer which credited drgeoff's reply, which linked to PureDarwin's Disk images page. The secret was to convert the image format to raw before writing with dd (attempting to restore even the converted image via Disk Utility returned the same "Restore Failure" error above). Here is the process I used to backup my DiskWarrior bootable USB flash drive and restore it to a new flash drive: Backup Insert USB flash drive to be imaged Open Disk Utility Click root of USB flash drive Click "New Image" Select desired Image Format (tested restore of "read-only" and "compressed (bzip2)" images successfully) Save image to desired location Restore $ hdiutil convert /path/to/image_created_above.dmg -format UDTO -o new_image.img Remove the .cdr extension that hdiutil automatically appended to new_image.img Run Disk Arbitrator and set to "Block Mounts" Plug in new USB flash drive (WARNING: all contents will be erased) and note the assigned device name in Disk Arbitrator's Disks Window (e.g., diskx) $ sudo dd if=/path/to/new_image.img of=/dev/rdiskx bs=8192 (Pipe through pv or use a dd alternative like dcfldd to easily track progress.) In retrospect, it might've been better to avoid Disk Utility altogether and simply use dd to create the image: $ sudo dd if=/dev/rdiskx | bzip2 -9f > usb_image.bz2 obviating the need to convert with hdiutil before restoring: $ bzip2 -dc usb_image.bz2 | sudo dd of=/dev/rdiskx UPDATE: It appears that dd/bzip2 creates a more faithful image than Disk Utility's compressed (bzip2) format does: The image created using dd and bzip2 was 810.7MB vs. 626.6MB for the compressed (bzip2) image created by Disk Utility. The MD5 checksum of the USB flash drive differed based on which image file was restored to it, so the difference in file sizes was not merely some difference in the compression algorithm (which should have been the same anyway). When the dd-created image was restored and the USB flash drive plugged in, it mimicked the original DiskWarrior flash drive's behavior (only the /Volumes/DW Finder window automatically opened). When the Disk Utility-created image was restored and the USB flash drive plugged in, Finder windows automatically opened for both /Volumes/DW and /Volumes/DiskWarrior Recovery (unlike the original DiskWarrior flash drive). For Disk Utility to achieve similar results as dd/bzip2, one would need to select "entire d
