[QUOTE="damainman, post: 896526, member: 41668"] I have an disk image that is very large, but i only have like 3GB free space on my macbook pro. The disk image is located on an external hard drive. My question is, if i mount the disk image... does it still use the external drive... or does it use up local disk space on my macbook to mount it? Thank you in advance :) [/QUOTE]
