i posted on another site looking for help, but am getting no response, so hopefully someone here can help me.
i have an external 1TB drive that i use to backup applications in case something bad happens or i want to share it with my friends. on the drive there are folders and dmg's galore all nicely organized, but recently, many of the dmgs will fail to mount and it says codec overrun. i dunno what that means, but i DO know that at one point, they ALL worked. some will still mount from the external when i double click, others only mount if i drag and copy them to the desktop, and some of them wont mount at all. does anyone know what could cause this and how i can fix this. its all over 200 gigs and i dont want to go through the trouble of getting them all again. ive heard that dmgs should be zipped to be safe(?) and most, if not all, of mine arent. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.
if it matters at all, the external is ntfs and im using paragon to write to it. also, im running 10.5.7.
i just downloaded a dmg online for an animation program ad it mounted fine. i used cleanapp to delete the app and tried to re-mount the dmg and it failed! wahts going on!!
