What is wrong. I have trying both with mounted and unmounted image but the result is the same. I am running Leopard 10.5.5 and the disk is MBR formated.

Any solution?

can u mount the dmg file...if you cannot mount it maybe your installer is corrupted.

The image can be mounted and the installer starts, but it returns the message that I can't install to that drive or something similar.

How can I change the OSInstall.mpkg and perform the install, is there any other way?

Try converting the DMG to read/write ISO in Disk Utility. Dont know if it isn't protected against it, but it's worth a try.

you can restore the installer to a partition in your usb drive or hdd and change the osinstall.mpkg for mbr hdd.. so you will need 2 empty partition 1 for installer and 1 for snow

Actually I have downloaded the image in .cdr format and I have convert it to dmg with DMGConverter with read/write permissions.
I will try to convert with disk utility to Iso as you write and I will post back.

I have that ready, but I can't restore the image to the empty drive.

What's the error that it's giving ? Maybe You have to Verify the image ?

But when I try to scan the image is that I get the errors. The errors that I have are mentioned on my initial message.

"Unable to scan "imagename.dmg". (Invalid Argument) or Unable to scan "imagename.dmg". (Resource temporarily unavailable)."

depending if the dmg is mounted or not.
