Hello geezer-ed,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. As I understand it, you're receiving a "resource busy" alert when working with a disk image on your Mac. I'll be glad to see how I can help.
Are you opening the disk image from Finder or a similar folder, or from within the Disk Utility app? If you've only tried Disk Utility, see how it works from Finder.
If you get the same result, click Apple menu () > Restart and test again. Does that help?
If not, try booting into safe mode next to see if the issue persists there, or if you're able to open it: How to use safe mode on your Mac. Once you've tested in safe mode, click Apple menu () > Restart to boot back to normal.
Reply back here with how it goes. Kind regards.
