Can't mount '(username).spareimage'

Greetings from sunny Australia.

I had to reinstall the system software - chosing the option to 'create previous system folder'.

What was created was a disc image as '(username).spareimage' - it is 148gb - so it has the files I need for sure - but I cannot mount it - when i double click on it to do so all I get is a dialogue/warning box - 'the following disk images failed to mount' (reason - no mountable file systems).

Any help would be appreciated - there is some pretty precious stuff i need to get off of this.

You may want to try to repair it.

You'll need your previous username's password to open it, which it should prompt you for if you try to open it.
 
Thaks for that.

I tried to repair the disk but go the message : disk repaire failed. Invalid request. Reparing disk failed with error Invalied request (-9998)

hmmm

I do actually have the previous usernames password - but still no luck - thanks for the help though, much appreciated.
