  • OSFMount and partition listing

    I have a dd image of an iMac (HSF format). When I open the image, I do not get the window to select the partition that I want to mount.

    mmls will show the following:
    Slot Start End Length Description
    00: ----- 0000000000 0000000000 0000000001 Unallocated
    01: 00 0000000001 0000000063 0000000063 Apple_partition_map
    02: Meta 0000000001 0000000004 0000000004 Table
    03: 01 0000000064 0000262207 0000262144 Apple_Free
    04: 02 0000262208 0488397151 0488134944 Apple_HFS
    05: 03 0488397152 0488397167 0000000016 Apple_Free

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    OSFMount will only pick up partitions that are defined in a MBR.

    Older Macs used APM and not a MBR,

    But we will be supporting GUID partitions which are used by newer Macs (after about 2007) and some Windows machines.

    You should still be able to mount the whole drive however.
