Error 95/Can't Mount Disk Images

Apple's OS X 10.2.3 update introduced an elusive bug. It is sometimes identified by the message "error 95, no mountable disk systems" when trying to open a disk image with Disk Copy. As a result, disk images for new software cannot be mounted and thus the new software cannot be installed.

Apparently this isn't one problem. Rather, it is several different problems which manifest themselves in a similar manner. As a result, different solutions may or may not work for different users. Even after successfully fixing this problem by applying one of the following possible solutions, the original damaged disk images cannot be repaired. You will have to re-download the software. And even if one or more of the following possible solutions works for you, in some cases (e.g. logging out and then back in) the solution may only be temporary.

What is most frustrating about this problem is that not everyone is experiencing it; some people suddenly start experiencing it without warning; some people are able to fix the problem entirely; while others can't fix the problem at all.

Possible solutions:

Log out and then back in (via Apple menu.)

Apple has added this Knowledge Base article about this problem, with a possible fix for some:

Several folks have noted that using the program Mount to mount disk images, instead of Apple's Disk Copy, has resolved the problem for them. (Others say that it hasn't helped them.)

Others have reported that when the encounter a disk image that won't mount, dropping it on DropDMG:
http://www.c-command.com/dropdmg/
will fix the file so that Disk Copy can then open it

Similarly, Sometimes when .dmg files are downloaded they obtain a TEXT file type, causing your Mac to want to try and open the file with the wrong application. When you drop a bad file on DMG Fixer's window, the file type is corrected and it should then open normally with Disk Copy.

SubRosaSoft ImageMounter may be a helpful work-around for the Error 95 problem. It uses the Hard Disk Image Driver module (built into the OS) to mount a disk image, bypassing the normal error checking (checksumming) in such a way as to allow some older formats to be mounted.

There are a lot more suggestions for dealing with the Error 95 problem here:
