How to get the necessary files from the "damaged" dmg image?
In general, the story is this .... I wanted to put Windows on a macbook through bootcamp.
Naturally, when choosing the BOOTCAMP partition, I started to write an error (something was wrong with the layout of the hard disk) and "after the holidays", I instead deleted all other volumes (except OS X) with it. Windows installation failed. OS X stopped loading.
Through cmd + R, I went to the recovery wizard, there I selected disk utility and created an image with OS X on an external drive ~ 200 GB (I chose compressed type). It took a very long time to create this image. After I repartitioned the entire hard, installed os x from scratch. Can't open dmg image.
I tried to open:
- with the usual double click (mount) . Gives the error "No mounted filesystems"
- restore to a hard disk partition. I don't remember the error. But it was about failed to check the source and the error of the argument.
- converted from "compressed" to "read/write". The same thing, only the weight of the image has become more by 40 gigs.
- 7z archiver. With extract, one file was obtained with large cracks without any extension .
I have tried many utilities to recover data after I formatted the entire hard drive. (The whole area of free memory is in zeros). Why it completely cleared it is not clear to me.
But I looked at the image itself through a hex editor and there seems to be some data there.
The question is, how do you get them?

Have you tried DiskWarrior?
Or convert to .img?
Or mount with all sorts of different options?
hdiutil attach -nomount -noverify -noautofsck -ignorebadchecksums image.dmg
