Restoring a full partition from DMG image

[Las_Vegas]

The image would have no partitioning scheme since it's an image of the Volume, not the drive. You do need to setup the destination drive using GUID partition map though. Once that's done, while booted from the Install DVD and from Disk Utility, select the menu item Images -> Scan image for restore… and locate the backup image. Once this is complete, you can use Restore to put the image back to the hard drive. No. You cannot boot Mac OS from a drive partitioned for only MBR.

Hmm are you sure its about the drive being MBR and not GUID? The scan image for restore is not working anyway, it says "Unable to scan MACOSX.DMG. (Invalid argument)" And i think it will display the same error if i run the disk utility from the disk..
