When you are choosing the file to place in the source you can drag the .dmg file but over on the right side it will say (mac something).dmg and then there will be a sub-heading MAC OSX Install DVD this is what you need to drag into the source file. When you do this and click restore it should work. Cheers @Kali-Mai

The install consists of TWO dvd's. I was able to use SuperDuper to "Backup" the DVD Install Disk 1 image to an 8GB partition on my external HD and run the install from that by booting from it BUT when it asked for the SECOND dvd I had to insert it in the DVD drive. I wold like to have the contents of BOTH the install DVDs on a single partion and be able to do the complete install from it. I se above that the question has been asked before, but I have not seen any answer. I believe tis can be done because there was what appeared to be an install partition on a drive they used at the Genius bar in the Apple Store. Hi,
