Disk Copy not mounting - Help

My disk copy, whenever I try to mount a .dmg file it says. "Weighting for disk copy helper" then nothing happens. I cant reinstall it, as I bought it on ebay and I diddnt get the system disks. Maby someone could send me there copy

is the disc image on a external disc. if it is then you have to drag it to the desktop and open it there.

Try getting another copy of the file as it could be damaged

I never have a problem mounting .dmg or .img files from a cd or dvd.

Performa460,
Have you installed all of the updates for the OS you are running?

Found this at the Apple site. Not exactly what you have, but may help.


"Disk Copy Helper has unexpectedly terminated" message

If you see that, you're not quite done yet. You could see this when trying to open the downloaded disk image file (.dmg), for example. To fix this:

Open the Utilities folder, which is in the Applications folder.
Adjust the Utilities folder window so that you can see Disk Copy.
Drag the image file (.dmg) on top of Disk Copy. The mounted image should then appear alongside other available disks, like your hard disk, and you should be able to use package file (.pkg) on it to update your software.

Tip: If the installation package file (.pkg) won't open either, drag it directly onto the Installer, which is also in the Utilities folder.
