I'm trying to use Disk Utility to create a disk image and on a first attempt, I'm getting an Input/Output error. I selected Read Only with no encryption. Maybe indicates a hardware problem? With my original installation of 10.5 (Retail) I allowed verification and my DVD passed. Currently making a second pass with DU, but will also try Toast. Have decided to go back to 10.5.4 via Combo Updater. Can I do the original install from hard drive pkg-s, or need to go to the DVD? I suppose I'd need to go in and modify links here and there to get it to look on the hard drive ... not something I want to do this late in the evening. I can use the combo updater from hard drive, although I made a CDRW copy for posterity. Wish me patience ... will follow Steve's suggestion earlier.
