Disk Utility Wierdness

[stizz]

Disk utility is misbehaving and I don't know what to do.

I just got a new mini. I used the system disk that came with it to boot off of, then attached an external firewire drive and made a disk image of the mini's hard drive.

Next, I repartitioned the drive, and attempted to restore the image i had just made to one of the new partitions.

The restore part of disk utility says to drag a disk here to restore onto it. This is where the problem is, when I goto the sidebar and try to drag the disk i want, it won't drag. Instead it lassos (selects) the other drives when i click and drag the mouse.

The source allows me to click a button to browse and search for the image, but the destination does not give me that option. I don't know what to do, I have tried rebooting.

found a work around...

boot the mini in target disk mode

chain it to the firewire drive with the image on it

connect to powerbook, and run disk utility from there.

Worked like it was supposed to that way. Cannot figure out why the disk utility on the mini install disk was not working properly.
