wierd error message while copying a file

[coolquasar]

I am running 10.6.2 in Late 2008 Alu UMB.
I have a Transcend 500 gig external, with NTFS partition of 250 gig. This NTFS partition has .dmg files. Among then, only a few dmg files show up with the usual dmg icon, everything else show up as blank icons, with .dmg extension, as if it were an unknown or unrecognised file. In file info the preview shown is the usual dmg icon and the file size is also right. When i double click, the dmg doesnt mount, infact nothing happens, and when i try to copy it to my internal hard drive, It says "One or more items in xxx.dmg can't be changed because they are in use". So am not able to use those dmg files. Please help me in fixing this wierd issue.

Note: I have enabled native read/write for NTFS by editing the /etc/fstab.

Delete the Finder plist file and relaunch Finder. Also, repair permissions. If any icons don't work after that, right click and choose the application that runs the file.


Edit: BTW, I'd change your title, if I were you. Something like "Blank Icons Everywhere" or close to that.

okay, if i were to choose an application for mounting dmg files, what should it be?
