| are you trying to mount a .dmg file? based what i googled, many of them said the reason of that error is the corrupted .dmg file. |

| No Mountable File Systems Thanks. Yes, I was downloading Skype (several tries) which, apparently is a dmg file. What is a dmg file and how do I fix it? |

| I've never done it but the only way I can suggest is point disk utility at it and ask it to fix it. Disk Utility is in Applications => Utilities. Try Open (under file). I'm skeptical that it will work but its quick and simple. Worth a shot.

| the .dmg is a disk image file. You double-click that file, and it mounts on your desktop. Then you run the installer that is found in that mounted image. I think you won't accomplish much by trying to 'repair' that disk image. You just have not downloaded a complete image yet, or the download is just corrupted in some way, You have to try that download again, or download through another Mac... Try from this download page. http://skype.com/intl/en/download/skype/macosx/beta/ You could also try burning that image to a CD though your Disk Utility. That may give you a usable installer.
