Disk Utility won't even list the partitions on it. If I run hdiutil imageinfo on it from the command line I get a few details on the partitions but a few lines later it exits telling me that the utility had an "internal error". I tried grabbing an older image from one of the mirror sites and it is doing the same. The first partition is marked as a standard ISO filesystem which probably contains the bulk of the operating system. The second one might be an empty/blank partition? The third filesystem is the FAT filesystem which is likely being referenced below.  If that is what you were able to mount under windows, it sounds like it contains the EFI boot loader. Regardless, the fact that the utility can't even give the full info without hitting that "internal error" suggests that whatever process is being used to create these images is causing them to become corrupted or to otherwise be set up in some nonstandard way that is confusing the utility. I do find "Partitioned: false" to be rather curious after three partitions were listed just above that...  but I may simply be misunderstanding what that particular piece of output is trying to say.         partitions:                 0:                         partition-name: Master Boot Record                         partition-start: 0                         partition-synthesized: true                         partition-length: 1                         partition-hint: MBR                         boot-code: 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                1:                         partition-name: PLAN 9 FRONT (AMD64)                         partition-start: 1                         partition-synthesized: true                         partition-length: 947071                         partition-hint: Apple_ISO                 2:                         partition-name:                         partition-start: 947072                         partition-synthesized: true                         partition-length: 1152                         partition-hint: Apple_Free                 3:                         partition-start: 948224                         partition-number: 1                         partition-length: 2048                         partition-hint: Type EF                         partition-filesystems:                                 FAT12: CYLINDRICAL         burnable: true Format Description: raw read/write Checksum Value: Properties:         Encrypted: false         Kernel Compatible: true         Checksummed: false         Software License Agreement: false         Partitioned: false         Compressed: no Segments:         0: /Users/fde101/Downloads/9front-8963.f84cf1e60427675514fb056cc1723e45da01e043.amd64.iso Backing Store Information:         URL: file:///Users/fde101/Downloads/9front-8963.f84cf1e60427675514fb056cc1723e45da01e043.amd64.iso         Name: 9front-8963.f84cf1e60427675514fb056cc1723e45da01e043.amd64.iso         Class Name: CBSDBackingStore hdiutil: imageinfo failed - internal error On 8/20/22 3:08 PM, M.
