TOPIC

    When using the Dutch iMac Rev. B restore CD (N691-2090) on a Rev. B iMac (M6709N/B), the erase process does NOT function correctly if the Erase Before Restore check box is selected.

    Note : This does not affect any iMac other than those which use the Dutch restore CD noted above.


DISCUSSION

    Attempting to do so will result in the Apple Software Restore application returning the dialog "De volume informatie kon niet worden gekopieerd. -46". After you press OK you then get the following message "Het terugzetten van bestanden is mislukt. Het volume Macintosh HD is wellicht onbruikbaar."

    Disk First Aid will also report problems with the hard disk that it cannot repair.

    Recommendations:

    The work-around is to use Drive Setup to initialise the Hard Drive prior to installing or restoring WITHOUT the erase before restore option selected.
