| Help! I am trying to mount a .dmg file - none of the bove works for me. I have tried disk utility; tried stuffit expander (dragging and dropping) but it still says "no mountable file systems". I've had this experience before and stuffit worked - to install the software first time round. Now the software is acting up - so I thought if i reboot it from the original cd it would help - but I can't even get to the material!!! Any ideas?  |

| OK, what particular Macintosh are you using? You forgot that bit of detail.

| Have you tried running the Repair Permissions command in Disk Utility? Make sure that Disk Utility is the only application that's running when doing that. All other apps should be closed so that they don't affect the permissions repair. Also, you can run a Verify Disk under the Disk First Aid tab in Disk Utility to see if something is wrong with the data on the hard drive. Report back with the results.

| Well, the Repair Disk option isn't clickable because it won't perform repairs on an active system disk. You would either have to boot into Single User Mode or with the OS X installation disc and launch Disk Utility from there. But seeing as you had no problems on your hard drive, it's no cause for concern. What I was referring to repairing was the permissions. There are a pair of buttons on the left side of the First Aid tab in Disk Utility. One of those is for Repairing Permissions. Run that once and it should repair the permissions that need it. Run it a second time to see if it finds anything else.
