How do I access an encrypted sparseimage in Windows or Linux?
The hard drive crashed on my iBook G4 using OS X 10.4. I made every effort I could find to repair it without luck, but DiskWarrior did allow me to transfer my encrypted home folder (myname.sparseimage) to an external hard drive. But I cannot access it. I used MacDrive to access the external HD in Windows, and I tried opening the sparseimage with TransMac but it did not support encrypted images. I do not have access to another Mac. I searched for answers but the forum topics I found either applied to non-encrypted sparseimages or remained unanswered. The Linux solutions I found required a lot of command line wizardry that is way over my head, and I'm not sure if they would work on an encrypted one either.
I feel like I have searched the net and forums like this one pretty thoroughly, but I am really hoping a solution is out there that I missed. Any thoughts on this one? Is finding another Mac to open it my only solution?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
iBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
