    Yesterday I had a system drive disappear. It’s gone.

    Idiotic not to have a current clone available, all my fault. Stupid Stupid Stupid.

    Got an hour or two to spare today? Hook up that weird ol’ FW drive, launch Disk Utility and cut a disk image of your system drive.

    You won’t be glad you did till you’re really glad you did.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    I decided to take your advice. Being fairly new to mac, I must be doing something wrong. I tried to do it, but I get the error message every time: Unable to create disk0.dmg. Resources busy.

    I also tried clicking on the Macintosh HD icon just below the drive icon. The only thing that changed was the name of the file: Unable to create disk0s3.dmg. Resources busy.

    The disk is Journaled. Would that make a difference? What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Gary
