I am having some problems so I'll break them down in order.
first I am on a MacBook Pro OS X 10.6. Both of the external drives I am using are formatted ntfs-3g. If other info is needed I will provide.
my first problem was that I created a disk image as a backup through disk utility onto an external drive with ntfs formatting (i use ntfs-3g). I reinstalled my OS and put ntfs-3g back on, then opened disk utility. After getting the message about using "scan for restore" I ran it and got this message "unable to scan disk image unknown error (internal error)".
After that I drug the image to my desktop and tried to mount it to just pull some backup files off. I got another error saying the image could not be mounted or verified. I tried using disk warrior to repair the image and all goes well and i can preview the image and even pull files out of disk warrior's preview. However, I cannot replace the image's directory (which is what disk warrior rebuilt) because the disk is locked. I tried the "get info" approach and changing permissions via terminal as well as entering single-user mode and adjusting permissions. I still get the message about the disk being locked.
While I was transferring some of the restored files i can get to i came across this message "the operation can't be completed because one or more required items can't be found. (error code -43)". I thought it was because I was in disk warrior's preview but found out that the error comes up when transferring files from my MAC HD to another external that is using ntfs-3g.
Any help resolving any of these problems would be much appreciated. I have looked through many forums and found instances of the error code -43 but not in the same way I am getting it. Sorry for the long post.
