In this article, we will show you how to disable the disk image verification for Mac OS. Mac OS X - How to disable the disk image verification You can skip disk image verification (checksum) to speed up the mounting of disk on Mac OS X (though it is not recommended). To disable this feature: Open a terminal and type the following command. It turns out the DMG file was compressed with bzip2 encoding, which can only be seen/decoded by Mac OS X 10.4+ machines - like my friend's 10.4.8 system. Mine, being 10.3.9, could only detect that the DMG file was compressed, tried decoding it using ADC decompression, and failed. The moral of the story is twofold.

To restore a disk image with multiple volumes to a disk, you must partition the destination disk, then restore each volume individually.

  1. In the Finder on your Mac, double-click the disk image to open it.

    The disk image’s volumes appear as disks in the Finder.

  2. In the Disk Utility app, select the disk in the sidebar, click the Partition button , then partition the destination disk.

    The destination disk must have as many partitions as the disk image, and each of the disk’s partitions must be at least as large as the corresponding partition in the disk image. See Partition a physical disk in Disk Utility on Mac.

  3. In the sidebar, select the volume that you want to restore, then click the Restore button .

    This is the volume that is erased and becomes the exact copy.

  4. Do one of the following:

    • Restore from a volume: Click the “Restore from” pop-up menu, then choose the volume you want to copy.

    • Restore from a disk image: Click Image, choose the disk image you want to copy, then click Open.

At the beginning of a disk image file is the sum of all the bits in that file. The program will then checksum to see if the sum is what is really in the image. If it is off, it reports 'invalid checksum'
If you downloaded it from a website, it likely was corrupted during download, and I would suggest trying to download it again. If you downloaded it from a peer to peer network, the file may be a fake.
You maybe able to skip the check sum at your own risk:
Checksums are there to protect you.
To enable skipping of the checksum verification to speed up mounting. So use the following (in Terminal):
*defaults write com.apple.frameworks.diskimages skip-verify true*
This will turn off disk image verification system-wide, regardless of what client has requested the mount (e.g. Finder or Safari or Disk Utility or DiskImageMounter.app).
