>What I have always assumed to be happening is that files with damaged headers are partially over-written or masked by other damaged files. Only after you have cleared-up the overlying files, can DW reach and repair the underlying files.
Ann,
DiskWarrior only deals with the directory, not files.
Disk directories are the area of a hard disk that the Mac OS uses to "map" all the information stored on the drive so that the Finder can find it. The directory records the number, names, locations, and sizes of all files and folders stored on the disk. If any of this information becomes corrupted - incorrectly updated or not updated - the directory is considered to be damaged.
Quite a lot of cumulative directory damage can occur without being immediately noticeable to the user, and this is especially likely to happen if the computer crashes, suffers a kernel panic, or encounters another problem requiring a force restart or reset without properly shutting down. Poorly written programs can also write data erroneously into the portion of the disk reserved for directories.
If directory damage is left unresolved, it tends to become worse and could eventually result in permanent data loss and/or system instability.
DiskWarrior doesn't only rebuild the directory; it also optimizes it for performance by defragmenting it and packing nodes, making the physical order equal to the linked (logical) order. Packing combines nodes that are not full so you end up with fewer nodes.
DiskWarrior doesn't do anything at all to files on your hard drive. All it deals with is the directory.
