> What are the instructions they gave you? Many thanks, Bruce, for you response. This is what the DW tech said: > When you have a corrupted FileVault disk image, you will need to have > another administrator account. If you do not have one, please create one. > > Launch "Terminal" (Unix Command Line), which is available in the > "Utilities" folder inside the "Applications" folder. > > At the command line, type the following: > > sudo hdid -nomount /Users/<username>.sparseimage > > In place of "<username>", please substitute the appropriate username for > the file vault. After this, you will have to enter an admin password to > continue. Subsequently, you will also enter the file vault password if > prompted. > > At this point, if all went well, a half-mounted disk should be available > on the system. Run Apple's Disk Utility and verify (DO NOT REPAIR) that > mounted volume. After it completes, send me the resulting output. I'll > look at it and advise further. -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
