    Some of my gzip’ed image files have become unreadable.  I say “have become” because I know that I’ve restored them in the past and I verify each image after I create it.  6 of my 15 images are now unreadable.  If I try to verify them, the system hangs at 0% complete before an estimated Time Left is every populated; so, I’m speculating that something simple is wrong with the internal file.  The physical disk & files seem to be Okay per DOS and Windows utilities; so, I think it’s an internal issue.

    Does anyone know how to read an IMG file outside of ODIN?  I was hoping the compression was fixable.  I’ve tried 7zip, but it won’t recognize the file.

    Unfortunately, gzip won’t read the IMG file produced by ODIN.  When I referenced gzip above, I used the ODIN compression option during the backup process, not outside of the program.  Does anyone know how to mount or view the image file?
