Can't Select Source/Destination in Disk Utility
Hi,
I have a macbook with a recently replaced hard drive, and I have a sparseimage backup of my files on an external (nonbootable) drive. When I boot from the OS X DVD (10.4.6), I'm able to open and mount the backup but I can't drag anything to the source or destination boxes. Holding down the mouse button only allows me to multi-select from the list, and ctrl-clicking any of the drives doesn't offer a "source" or "destination" option. Help? Thanks. |

Hm, that's quite a bug. I'll give it a shot in the terminal tommorow since that looks like my only option (I don't have any other disk to boot from).
Thanks! |

It is quite a bug, agreed. I believe Apple fixed it in their latest discs shipped with Intel Macs...

My disc doesn't work either
Purchased a Mac mini last month direct from Apple. The install disc is for OS version 10.4.7. Source and destination are uncooperative, as described above. Wonder if they'd send an updated replacement set?

You could try... another option would be to use something like Das Boot to create a bootable CD with Disk Utility on it...
