would not update its firmware has it turned out my ungraded harddrive still had a MBR partition scheme and 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 could not validate source - invalid argument windows 7 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.

Disk Utility Restore Failure Could Not Validate Source
Mac OSX using Disk Utility then you have probably encountered the frustrating and almost Windows-like cryptic error message “Could not validate restore failure could not validate source error 252 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 https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1507263?start=0&tstart=0 UDIF and NDIF images can be scanned. asr: image scan failed - 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 http://endlessgeek.com/2014/02/mac-osx-how-to-burn-an-iso-image-to-a-usb-key/ intended for burning to CD. Even after usinghdutil to convert the image to UDRO (a UDIF 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 /d
