Hi,

Trying to extract a DMG on a network drive. All windows.

08:15:06 - Extracting main DMG partition to a temporary file
08:15:06 - This can take some time - please wait...
08:15:07 - No volume found, looking for HFS+ file system...
08:15:07 - Error: failed to open main volume, btree error (?)

Hi,

It is 196 GB. My Mac died but they were able to save the entire windows directory which is in a dmg file.

Try converting DMG to ISO, rename the extensions from ISO to IMG and try to extract it.
