what is Disk Utility error -39
I'm trying to copy my primary HD to a secondary, external HD as a compressed image, so I can replace the primary HD and re-install the image on a new primary HD. (Is there a better way to replace a primary HD?)
Process:
1. boot from the 10.4 DVD
2. start Disk Utility
The primary HD is 150GB, 92GB used. The secondary HD is 950GB, 700GB used.
3. choose the primary HD
4. select "make image", and save to secondary HD, option "compressed".
A window shows copy progress.
At end of progress (about an hour or two later)..
New window opens with an error, something like: Cannot save image. Disk utility error -39.
What does the error mean? How do I fix error?
Is there another way to copy/backup the HD (option drag fails with not all info will be copied..)?
Thanks kindly,
