It sounds like the DMG itself is corrupted. Can you mount other DMG files, and just not this one?

BTW, what Mac do you have and what OS X version? I ask because way back when my father had a Power Macintosh G5 running 10.2.x and when I upgraded him to 10.3.x, he was unable to open DMG files until I performed a firmware upgrade that was needed by the Power Mac G5. Once that firmware was applied, all the DMG files started opening properly. Weird, yes, but that did the trick.

im on a White Imac 10.5. Its just this one DMG i am hoping i can either fix the file system or something or maybe try opening it on another computer, because its on a flash drive (yes there is plenty of room on the flash drive) I did try draging it to the desktop but it never finished after 5seconds (its been at 5 seconds for a day now xD.
