If you are a Terminal lover you might try mounting .dmg files from commandline.

Basicly thats pretty easy, so just continue reading

Attaching a DMG

1. Open Terminal.app ( /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app )
2. Navigate to folder containing your dmg file
3. Enter: hdiutil attach myDMGname.dmg

Thats it.

Step 2 is optional so you might skip that and change step 3 to:

hdiutil attach /path/to/myDMGname.dmg

Detaching a DMG

To be able to detach a mounted dmg, we need to know the name of it as you cant be sure its the same as you used to attach the dmg itself.

1. Open Terminal.app ( /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app )
2. Check the name of the mounted dmg. Its usualy mounted in /Volumes/some-random-name
3. To detach enter: hdiutil detach /Volumes/some-random-name

Where some-random-name is the String you found while checking the names listed in /Volumes

I hope that was helpful
