Hi
OK im not even sure if this would work but i cant seem to get past the first step
I'm trying to restore a password protected .DMG file to a USB drive i wanted to see if i could create a password protected volume.
Its onto a 64GB USB3 flash drive
I have created the disk image slightly smaller than the drive
In disk utility i select the .DMG file in the left hand sidebar
Then i click onto the restore tab making sure the .DMG is in the source field.
I then drag the flash drive name from the sidebar into the destination field.
I then click restore it then asks for admin password then the .DMG password after that it starts to scan the disk image bt then fails with the.
Utility Usb Drive
Unable to scan 'volume' (Invalid Argument)
I have tried the scan disk image command in the utilities menu
i then get another error message
unable to scan (resource temporarily unavailable)
I have tried the terminal command
Disk Utility Bootable Usb
sudo asr –noverify –source '.DMG' –target ‘/Volumes/UNTITLED 1′ -erase
This also comes back with an invalid argument.
Not sure what i can do now as i cant seem to be able to do it with disk utility are there any 3rd part apps which could use to do this?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
