Strange Alias Files appears after the restoring.

I post the same thread last week about the alias files apears after the restoring. Here it occoured again.

Basicly, in my PowerBook G4 12', I have a clear installing of the os. Then I have two partition A , and B. Later on I used SuperDuper to Clone A to B as a Image file ( I created a Image file with DiskUtilities First). Finally I restore the image to Partition A , then the infamous Alias files occured. There are three of them, called ( etc, tmp, var). Each of the files have been marked with a Alias Icon.

Last week, Dave told me the best way is to hide them with the Terminal Commands, so here I showed the whole detail, pleast anybody tell me how to hide them or figure out a solution. Thanks in advance.

Do you see this when you're booted from the drive, or when it's the backup? These are NORMAL files -- and MUST be there -- so don't delete them!

I saw them when I finish the restoring process and rebooted from the partition A. I did not see them in the backup image.So if I can not delete them, how can I hide them.

So, you're seeing them on the current boot drive? And, when you restored, were you doing so from an image or from another copy?

Yes, on the current boot drive. When I restored it, I did it from an image located in the second partition within the same hardisk.

OK. The problem is with ASR, the built-in Apple tool that does the restore-from-image.

You *should* be able to fix the problem by unzipping the attached file to the root (top) of the restored drive. Then, restart, and the files should be hidden.

Let me know if that helps!
