[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1268044, member: 131855"] The problem with a disk image is that restoring the hard drive requires booting from the install DVD or another hard drive to launch Disk Utility. That's not always a convenient option. What exactly are you trying to do? If you are just trying to produce a "bootable" copy of your hard drive it is probably best to use something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to image or "clone" the hard drive to an external drive. Edit: Cloning can also be done using the Restore pane in Dusk Utility. [/QUOTE]
