Thanks Cara. I'll try it out. One more question. Where did you save the image to? Was it to the Mac (HFS) formatted drive or an external FAT32 drive? I'm wondering if there might be issues with FAT32 file size limitations of 4 gig, since it is archiving it to one large .dmg image file? Any thoughts?
