I'm trying to do a complete backup of my wife's MB from my MBP. I booted the MB into Firewire Target Disk Mode, then used Disk Utility on my MBP to make a DMG of it onto another external FW drive. Here's the log from Disk Util:

When I tried to mount the image, it went through a 20 minute verification procedure, then failed with the 'no mountable file systems' error.
I tried mounting it from Finder by double-clicking the DMG and got the same error. So I deleted the DMG and re-created it from scratch (including rebooting the MB into TDM):

I get the same failure, whether mounting from Finder or from Disk Utility.

WTF? Does anyone know what might be going on? I came > < this close to repartitioning her HDD, then I got the willies and decided to verify the image first. Good thing I'm paranoid, otherwise my wife would have had a factory-fresh MB right about now. -- View image here: https://cdn.arstechnica.net/forum/smilies/scared_classic.gif --
