1. Sep 16, 2019  A file is saved as 2 parts on the storage device: directory info (which is comprised by file name, time stamp and size info, etc.) and data content. If the files with original file names and folder structures cannot be opened, one possible reason is the corrupted directory info.

Apr 30, 2016 Solved: I recently moved to a new Mac and need to reinstall CS5. After 3 download attempts of getting the DMG file, I can not find a link for the install file.

Corrupt File Text

Just so happens that I needed to convert a .dmg to .iso file for use with VMware when I saw this article in my e-mail from How-To-Geek. Unfortunately it does not work so well. Can't find any other help so here goes; I do not have an issue executing the program, even creates a tiny .iso in my folder but with errors. The file is OSX 3.6GB, I shortened the file name and removed spaces, even moved it to the root folder to make it easier but I always receive the (opening partition 2 ... ERROR: Inflation failed)... The first 2 processes complete with 100% ok. Any ideas..?

I don't understand the point. Is the software in the DMG file not OSX specific?

The DMG file could be corrupted, and that's why it isn't extracting.
