Disk Warrior 3.0.3 on OSX 10.6.8?
I'm having major problems with my iMac (2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo/2 GB 66 MHz DDR2 SDRAM/running OSX version 10.6.8). Very, very slow to login, hangs up during normal use, slows to a crawl, etc. I did some searching on this forum and have tried some suggestions offerred to people with similar problems, such as running Disk Utility. When I ran it off the hard drive it went through the process with no real error messages (found a few "damaged files" and put them in folder named the same). Then I tried running it off my Snow Leopard install disk and got the message:
Disk Utility stopped repairing "Macintosh HD" Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Next on my list, before going so far as reformatting/restoring (I use Time Machine to back up my system onto a 500 GB external hard drive) I want to run Disk Warrior. Here at the office we have a very old version (3.0.3). Will it work with Snow Leopard? I popped the disk into a Mac running Lion and it had the slash through the icon, indicating that it isn't compatible. However, I popped it into my work iMac, which is running the same OS as my problem iMac at home, and it looks as though it may work.
Obviously the most recent version would be ideal but will this one at least run for me? If it will I think I'll give it a shot. If it doesn't work I'll look into getting an upgrade. Anyone know?
One other thing...never could locate the S.M.A.R.T. info in my Disk Utility. Saw that mentioned several times in posts but it doesn't appear on my version. I did download an app called SMARTReporter and ran that. All indications were that my hard drive is OK.
I'm unclear what you did after re-reading your original post. Did you do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

My OSX is makin swiss cheese of my HD and it just killed Disk Warrior
PowerG3 blue and grey- It started right after auto update added (MSE, JRT, OSX1.*)an update of something claiming it would make things smoother. Im at X1.5 trying to get to Tiger X4.* I don't know what exactly is happening but the computer seems only quasi-stable. I just went through all that in the 9 to 9.22 trek where the computer actually crashed, shut down, not just froze (beautiful and terifying kept expecting Bicyl. Blt. for Two). Finally got it stable in 9.22 but then proceded to X. I can't get (hardly) any applications to run in X (they blink? with no message), don't even worry about classic yet (it doesn' run). MSExplorer seems to be the only thing that works but it crashes "unexpectedly" and has difficulty resolving web page content. I feel something (or absolutely nothing) must be done soon to prevent permanent brain damage. When I boot in 9.22 applications run but all are affected. "invalid instructions", "bus error" and "unexpectations" increasingly abound. Now, I can't boot Disk Warrior. G3 sees the CD system but never activates the application. Startup gets kicked back to the startup disk which freezes before it gets far. I can boot again in 9.22 or X and disk first aid sees and repairs the same (?) "mount" error. But its still shakin like a leaf.
Seems there should be a simple explanation why the applications in the install package don't work with the OS. Something easy I can start with? And poor DW, oh the humanity. I tried this 5 years ago and just ran back to 9. An ever diminishing option.
Me- 1st time poster but the discussions have saved me numerous times- Disk Warrior slew my invalid sib link only because I read it here. AppleII(16K) 1979, seven models since. Im not a moron and I know Mac but I'm stumped. Tried some stabs in the dark but if I waste too much more time Im gonna lose the patient.
Any old timer want to explain peek-poke to the kids? they think us mad but at 16k we pretty much looked at every bit one at a time.
PowerG3 Mac OS X (10.1.x) blue and grey 9 to 10.4
PowerG3 Mac OS X (10.1.x) blue and greyHi, thanks for your time.
Its teal (blue) and translucent grey (white?). Its a tower with no DVD or floppy. I believe its the "blue and white" model. 384MB RAM (100 addeed) 9.5GB HD, Scsi 2960 added. Also have sony DVD-R/W, que? CD-R/W, APS optical drive, cable modem, epson printer, Canon digital camera currently connected.
Transferred whole 9.22 system from G3 about 3 years ago. Lost Open transfer along the way. Tried to reinstall OT but couldn't find right combo (now ive got pieces of 8, 9, and X). Succeeded in giving G3 a lobotomy- the little start up Mac icon just smiled and smiled- but that was it. To get it back I reverted to 9.0. With a little fiddling it settled down at about 9.15. Decided to go OSX. Bought Tiger 10.4.6 DVD. Can't load it because sony DVD is unsupported by Mac. I am currently trading it (and $15 more dollars) for CD package by mail to Apple. Installed OS 9.1.1, followed by 9.2.1, upgrade to 9.2.2. including all firmware updates as approved by upgrade software (frequently tells me I am up to date) At this point the computer is completely unstable and I have to rotate start up discs to complete software install. (startup disc is partially responsible variously not recognizing system discs). Very soon after reaching 9.2.2 the dreaded "invalid sibling link" struck-unfixable by Disk first aid and not described on Apple pages at all. The most amazing show ever seen from a Mac. Icons, programs, desktop all in flux and blinking ("finder reports being unable to find finder". Had to use the computer a little to get help even though damge was occuring limped through with combined treatments of Norton Dr, and First aid, . DIscussions to the rescue- they know it and they can fix it. Disk Warrior (last in stock copy) 1.4.7. 30 min later computer fine 9.2.2 stable. I happily go on for about 2 weeks ignoring Tiger.
I move my other G3 from my office find my original X1.1 CD. The DVD and the camera need X to work well they say (they lied they actually need X.3 or better). I procede with install of 1.1. The memories of frustration flood back. Can't navigate and can't get information. New OSX applications mostly just blink the icon upon clicking. Optical drive not recognized, and all my software takes a classic environment which takes a long time to load and never actually works. Updater wants new software but doesnt think I have the right password. Functioning OSX software not working well. Example- MSexplorer updates to 5.1 but needs new QT plug in. Input boxes on web pages are horribly mutated and graphics are chaotic. Its hard to login with ID and Password when there is only one input box and it corresponds to something different (can't Yahoo with MSE). Can't load QT because there is just a big empty space where it says "load 7.1 here". I set startup disk to 9.2.2 and live in ignorance for another 2 weeks.
I need to download from the camera. I need X. this Updater takes my password and makes three updates-including combo 1.1 to 1.5. I use MSE for a short time before it "quits unexpectedly". I try again (and again, 2X) but as expected it "quits unexpectedly" Disgusted I switch back to 9.2.2. TOO LATE. invalid instruction, bus error, unexpected quit, unmapped memory exception with every application. Disk first aid reports a problem and fixes. But the errors continue and Disk first aid reports the same problem and fixes. (repeat 1X more). I put in DiskWarrior and restart. I see the CD icon. It;s taking its usual long time. But then it suddenly restarts in 9.2.2 freezing about half way. Disk Warrior was never activated I believe because the system on the disk (X.4.8) no longer works with the current arrangement. Although startup disk (9 and X) does, system profiler(9) does not see 10.4.8 on the DW CD . It did just a few days ago. I try various combos of 9.2.2, DW, and OSX. DW won't launch, 9.2.2, OSX are still unstable.
I can't believe I made it to Discussions. Reading my post I get an idea and reinstall update combo 1.1 to 1.5. Better? a little, but still I come to you now from 9.2.2 on Netscape and still can't load DW. I'm probably overwriting the hard drive driver right now.
As for Tiger I tried a few times to trick startup into using the DVD but it refused. Someone suggested firmware, but the response is that I'm updated. Maybe there is more I'm missing.
Don't forget the bonus question.
Thanks again hope to hear more.

How do I run Disk Warrior on new MacBook Pros?
I am trying to help my good friend who purchased a Late-2012 Macbook Pro 13-inch Core i5 2.5 GHz. It runs 10.8 ML. WIth reckless technical abandon, she swamped and corrupted her HD directory with repeated massive transfers of large-size photo files in and out of her laptop when the drive was already probably at least 95% full to capacity. She probably experienced repeated Out-of-Memory notifications as she would try to perform these ops while Photoshop was using almost all available free space on the same disk as Scratch Storage for its operations.
Suddenly she could not boot her MBP. She called Apple warranty support, and they convinced her the only thing she could do was to wipe the HD and reinstall the OS. Angry as **** about losing about 3 weeks of critical photo images since her last backup, she dutifully obeyed. She said the wipe operation took only a part of a minute.
So, with that background, I told her I felt the wipe was not a low-level erase at all, but just the most minimal erase procedure possible, and that I thought many of her old files may be recoverable with a tool like DiskWarrior if she did it immediately, before starting to reinstall applications and other content back onto the disk.Can anyone back me up on this?
Now, on to how I can try to do the recovery. She has considered sending the drive out to a "clean room" recovery service, but before doing so at great cost, I wanted to at least try a DiskWarrior directory repair. With no optical drive, she cannot boot from the Disk Warrior 7.X DVD, or create a bootable CD or DVD to run Disc Warrior for the same reason. How else can we force the MBP to allow the hard drive to be read by DiskWarrior? Can I load DW on a FireWire drive and use Thunderbolt-to-FW adapter on MBP to boot from it? Disk Warrior's website still says "The current DiskWarrior DVD cannot start up the new MacBook Pros introduced June 11, 2012. An updated disc that will also start up these recent Mac models will be released as soon as Apple, Inc. releases new startup files to Alsoft, Inc. and other developers." Do I still have to wait for something from Apple? Or can I put the MBP in Target Mode and run DW connected via FireWire (and Thunderbolt adapter) from my own MacBook running OSX Lion? And hopefully repair her directory? Is there hope here?You'll need to install Windows on your Macbook. This can be done by either using Boot Camp (free, from Apple) or Parallels Desktop for Mac (free trial, $80 retail). Either approach requires that you own an additional copy of Windows (Windows XP sp2 for Boot Camp) which you will then install on your Mac.
In brief, Boot Camp sets up your Mac so you can boot into either OS X or Windows (but not have both running at the same time; you switch via a reboot), and Parallels creates a virtual machine in which you will run Windows while OS X is running. You're correct that you can't run Virtual PC on your Intel-based Mac. Parallels will give you that functionality on your Mac (and be a lot faster than Virtual PC in the process).
You might want to start with Parallels' free trial and see if that meets your needs for these CDs. Parallels doesn't require that you make changes to your partitions on your drive; it just installs an application and creates a virtual disk which to OS X is just another file (albeit a large one), and you don't need to reboot to switch back and forth between Windows and OS X. If it works, you're set.
If you have graphics adapter-intensive Windows applications (e.g., games or something that requires 3D acceleration), you'll be better off with Boot Camp, because the current version of Parallels does not support DirectX or 3D hardware acceleration.
Hopefully that will get you started. There's other info in the Discussions comparing Parallels to Boot Camp, but feel free to ask if you have questions.

External Hard Drive won't mount - tried Disk Warrior, am backing up as a .dmg...will this work?
Hi Guys,
Hopefully someone can help! Fairly desperate situation here...
I backed up around 700GB of data to an Iomega external hard drive (supplied by the client), using my Macbook Pro...all was fine when I unmounted the drive at the end of the backup.
The client took the drive away and called me to say he mounted the drive in Windows (on a PC), and he was able to work with the files for a time, but now the drive won't mount...
I collected the drive, hooked it up to my Mac Pro, but OSX tells me it can't mount the drive. It shows up in Disk Utility in the sidebar, but not on the desktop...
I tried repairing the disk using Disk Utility and with Disk Warrior, both tell me the disk cannot be repaired...
I am currently making a backup of the drive as a .dmg file, using a program called Disk Drill...it's slow as I expected, but I'm still not sure the .dmg will mount...because surely it's just making a copy of the data exactly, of which some part is not mounting (a mount directory or something???)
Is there any way you guys can think of me somehow taking the data and backing it up onto another disk?
Specialist recovery services seem to think there shouldn't be any problem recovering the data, and of couse, as a costly last resort, that's what I'll have to do, but does anyone know how they may go about doing it? It is something vastly complicated such as a command line thing?
Sorry about the length of this question...just hope someone can help!
Thanks in advance...You didn't say what format (filesystem type) the disk was.
However, I'd say your analysis is probably correct. Something has corrupted the disk. You can make a disk image copy to the .dmg which will preserve the data, such as it is, but I doubt extremely if it will fix any file system corruption.
Furthermore, if both Disk Utility and Disk Warrior have said the disk is unreadable I'm dubious that anything else will magically repair it and that recovery probably consists of snuffling through the disk block by block.
However if the filesystem is FAT (Windows) there may be other (Windows) utilities that can fix it.
You said you 'backed up the data'. Does that mean you still have the original data on your MBP? Are you trying to recover the client's changes? -
Disk Warrior - Anyone feeling clever??
Ran Disk Warrior and just as it was about to save its report it crashed and dumped. Strange thing is, I had FastDVDCopy do the same thing when trying to burn a DVD too. Can anyone decipher the dump below :- I think it crashed trying to set an RGB colour, but surely not??!
Thanks in Advance.

Power Mac G5 2.0DP/2.5Gb/320GB HD/iSight/iPod MacBook 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.8)Oh yes, almost for certain, any open file, which there are hundreds to thousands at a time in or silly OSX/Disk Based OS... & 2, 3, 4 times in a row without repairing the HD can be catastrophic sometimes.
Either use DW, DU or install & Use Applejack with a boot into Single User Mode each time it happens if you don't like more trouble than a Cat trying to coverup you know what on a Marble Floor!
For emergency purposes, though DW is a little to a lot better, I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files!
Disconnect the USB cable from any UPS so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process. -
Mac Pro- Damaged Disk/Permissions - Disk Warrior unable to fix, please help
Hey, I am really hoping I can solve this over the discussion board. My Mac Pro 1,1, with OSX 10.6.2 installed, has been acting up really badly lately. Random crashes, really slow, and my Radeon XT1900 is about to die, I think; the fan almost never turns off.
But the main issue I'd like to address is my damaged home disk. I booted up from the install disk and used Disk Utility to "Verify and Repair Disk" on my home disk. It said that the "Header has some minor damage," the repair finished and DU reported that it had repaired the volume and everything was fine.
However, after booting up from the HD, I went back into Disk Utility and did another "Verify Disk" to double check. It came up with an error stating: "Disk Utility stopped verifying 'Home' The disk needs to be repaired. Startup your computer with another disk and use DU to repair this disk."
So I booted from the install disk again, ran Disk Utility, and it said that everything was fine. So I booted back from HD, ran DU - only for it to report the same error as before. Why is DU reporting a problem when booting from disk, but it says there is no problem when running from the install disk?
I decided to get Disk Warrior to see if that would help. I used it to "Repair Disk Permissions" and also "Check All Files & Folders". Disk Warrior then stopped saying: "An unexpected error occurred while attempting to perform the file operations. Restart from DW disc and try again. ERROR CODE (2903, -8902)."
Here are some screenshots of the errors from Disk Warrior and Disk Utility (booted from HD). image: !http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9789/duerror.png!
image: !http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/9269/dwerror.png!
So my main question is: Why, after Disk Utility, running off the install disk, reports that it "repaired - some minor damage to the header," does it then report the "header is damaged" when booted from the system?Don't rely on just Apple First Aid, or trust it with finding and repairing.
Sorry you had to wait this long to get Disk Warrior.
You should always run DW from another hard drive.
Install a fresh clean copy of 10.6.x on a small 30GB partition for emergency only.
you can use that to boot from to run repairs and maintenance using Apple and Disk Warrior.
Don't bother using DVDs or CD to boot from.
It sounds like you are running DW and DU from hard drives, but not clear which or from where (and when).
Always use the SAME version when repairing permissions, never use an older version OS or of Disk Utility.
CLONE your system. Always have a couple bootable backups.
Choice is Apple Disk Utility Restore; SuperDuper; Carbon Copy Cloner
If a drive does have errors, be ready to restore and have backups on hand if it comes to that.
System (OS and apps) probably only change weekly or even monthly.
You can backup /Users to its own backup partition more often, and use Time Machine plus another method there.
Personally, I tend to run DW directory repair first and sometimes only, and only then check files.
TechTool Pro 5 is what I use for checking files, disk media for weak sectors, and some other problems not covered by Disk Warrior; and, because it can run concurrently on multiple volumes and drives.
It is 'iffy' to verify a live system and get an accurate read of its health, but I'd say Disk Utility is "out of its depths, and league" when it comes to finding and repairing, and for the errors it is encountering on your system.
Isolate the sytem from data and media files and libraries as much as you can and still easy to manage.
Most errors are with system or boot drive.
Radeon X1900 needs to be removed, carefully inspected, and any dust in the vents, air intake portion and exhaust, cleaned out. Right now the only real upgrade there is the ATI 4870 for now (Apple's or flashed). -
Hooray for Disk Warrior 4! Rescued my external HD.
There have been some discussions about the new Disk Warrior 4 (the one for intel) that were, when I looked at them, inconclusive.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it works. I have an external Seagate 250G HD connected via firewire. I keep in it all sorts of things, but mostly stuff that I use for music. Not only my entire mp3 collection, but sample collections used for Logic Pro.
Anyway, today, the external HD was not mounting anymore. Tried everything, including Disk tools, Tech Tools 4, and Tinker Tools. Nothing would work. So I dowloaded Disk Warrior 4 from their website.
5 minutes later, after Disk Warrior "went to work", I had my external HD mounted on my desktop and my files back. It was not a 100% success though. I also had on that disk an OSX 10.4.8 system, so that I could boot from it, and, for example, repair my MBP's HD, and I could not boot from it anymore after DW repaired it. Now, I'm in the prcess of backing my files from external HD -> MBP so that I can re-initialise it, and re-install OSX. But I do have my files back which, 15 minutes ago, I thought were lost.
So, Disk Warrior 4 saved my day. I have no affiliation whatsoever with them, by the way, in case you were wondering...I'm just interested in sharing a solution by using DW4 which many people were scheptical about, including me. Some said in this forum and elsewhere that they would not buy a .0 version, preferring to wait until the next release, presumably to have the bugs ironed-out. Some others were bothered by Alsoft's licensing system. Whatever, I say...It saved my files, 'nuf said. So there you go...Some feedback for you folks, hope it helps.
A.Looks like HD is dead, installed Tiger successfully but during updates of software, HD started making noises and now won't start.
Suggestions for HD replacement service appreciated....posted separate thread for this. -
MacBook Pro 2.8ghz unable to boot Disk Warrior 4.2
Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2.8ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, purchased Jan/Feb 2010 with osx 10.6.5 installed.
I have a Disk Warrior disk described as "CD Rev. 42 contains v. 4.1". I tried to boot from this disk by holding down C at startup. No luck.
Then I realised I needed to update to Disk Warrior 4.2 which I've now done.
Having done this I attempted to boot again by holding down C at startup but it still doesn't work!
Disk drive spins up and then back down but the Apple logo never appears, just a grey screen.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks and Merry Christmas!For me and many others, I create a small 30GB volume ("Emergency Mac") with 10.6.5 or latest version, and have all my utilities there.
People use a slice of internal drive for their macbook, a USB or FW (portable is fine), or even use 16GB (8GB maybe) Flash memory device. Boot from there.
I have only once or twice used Disk Warrior from CD, and once (Panther) on a "live DVD" but not since. Isn't necessary or required.
TechTool Pro built in the ability to have a hidden "eDrive" to use for emergency repairs.
Also much better to run OS X off a drive instead, and to have latest Disk Utility, Finder and other programs.
You can also clone your system (SuperDuper, Carbon Copy Cloner) to another hard drive and boot from there and run Disk Warrior - as long as that is healthy. I prefer to keep a small mini-Mac OS X partition that I am sure of is problem free (and is also backed up to sparse disk image) to work from. -
Using "Bootable" - discs for HD Inspection- Disk Warrior and Drive Genius
I have a reasonably new I-Mac G-5 (i-sight) purchased in late Dec. 05. I was advised by the dealer that Disk Warrior would be a good investment - In February, I thought that I would use it to check on my HD-- This is Disk Warrior version 3.0.3 rev.39. It is bootable holding down C key after restart, but it just shows the Apple logo, spins and spins then shows a circle with a diagonal line through it. After a very long wait, I cannot get the disk to eject (just keeps spinning). Only way that I can get it out is to cut the power to the computer, restart and then eject the disk when it shows up on the desktop. I later purchased Drive Genius and it does the same thing. I have previously used Norton Utilities for years on my earlier Macs -- No problems. What's wrong?
OldProf
i Mac G-5 i sight Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1gb of memory -use HP Laserjet 1320 and Epson R300M printerJust one thing, you say you previously used Norton Utiliities.
FYI. Norton was the industry standard when Peter Norton Owned the Co. and was excellent for OS9. The combination of Peter Norton selling to Symantic and the advent of OSX Norton is no longer the standard at which all others are judged. It has become poison to OSX.
I suggest get rid of anything you have on your computer Norton and repair permissions and see if this improves your problems.
You may have to use the Uninstaller.

Mac Mini has crashed - Disk Warrior and External Hard Drive Question.
I have Mac Mini that has crashed. I purchased Disk Warrior and was able to boot from the CD. Disk Warrior allowed me to see my files again but there is no way I can move them back onto my hard drive. I cannot grab them. Before I go into specifics....If I purchase an external hard drive and try to hook it up to my Mac Mini, will I be able move these files to this new external hard drive? Is this a possibility?
Or will my new external hard drive need to go through a set up phase - which might be impossible since hard drive I'm trying to take the files from is technically dead?
Sorry - I'm a novice at these things.Hello, no apologies needed for being a novice, great you asked!
YES, depends where you buy the Drive, it may need Formatting first to Mac OS Extended...
How to format your disks...
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/partitioning_tiger.html
(To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)
Thanks to Pondini, Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks...
http://Pondini.org/OSX/DU.html
These generally come Mac Ready, & get Firewire if you have a Firewire port, much faster...
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
Then in DiskWarrior, hold Option or alt key when selecting Internal to repair, that will do the best job of Scavenging the directory & provide a whole new Drive icon to copy or clone your info over to the external drive. -
Are people still finding Disk Warrior useful?
I am getting various problems on my dual G4 system with Final Cut 5.0.4. Some spinning beach balls and some "unexpectedly quits". I am working away through various fixes of the standard variety (permissions, prefs, reinstalls etc) and was wondering if anyone is still using disk warrior. I have an old version disk lying around so will need to upgrade and was wondering if it is still worth having since I know there have been many changes in both OSx and FCP since the old days of 10.2 and OS9 when I used Disk Warrior often.
Best regards,
PaulUsing Disk Warrior after moving large amounts of data on or off of a drive is a good idea to prevent trouble. It's also a good idea to use it as a part of your monthly maintenance routine.
Several of us have had this argument in this forum before, but I absolutely believe in preventative maintenance of drives in order to avoid trouble and possible data loss.
Disk Warrior is primarily a preventative maintenance tool designed to help you correct any directory problems long before they can cause data loss. That is how I recommend its use.
Yes, Disk Warrior can sometimes resurrect a "crashed" volume by reconstructing its directories.
But to my mind the idea is to avoid this problem by running Disk Warrior often enough that it fixes small directory problems before they become big ones. -
Good Morning,
I hope somebody can help!
I work in tech support for PC however I couldn't be any more of a mac novoice. My sisters Macbook Pro will not boot and I have gone through various diagnosis tips from various forums online.
The problem is with the following
'Keys Out of Order'
'Rebuilding B-tree'
The Volume HD could not be reapired'
The built in disk utility advises that I need to back up files and reformat/reinstall OS. The whole problem is that my sister has STUPIDLY never backed anything up and has files on there that are ridiciously important to her.
I have found a download for 'Disk Warrior' which seems like it could be a saviour, however the only other computer I have is my Windows Laptop and an extrernal hard drive...is there anything I can do at all??
Thanks so much in advanceellengrac4 wrote:
Can I just ask, is this an actual hardware problem where a new hard drive is needed or if worst comes to the worst, would it be possible to format and reinstall?
Can't tell whether the drive has a hardware problem yet, but it could have.
How old is this Mac and what version of OS X is on it?
Can I just ask for my cards on the table and ask if her data/files are at all able to be saved and whats the cheapest/easiest way for a fix?
Maybe, but as the Mac won't boot this requires that you remove the drive and access it externally from this Mac (with a new drive fitted) or some other Mac.
She has an appt at the genius bar at apple on Monday..will they just say the same thing?
Again I can't tell what they will say, but they might. I do know that without a backup I would not let the Genius bar work on the machine (if the data is important).
Answer question 1 and we will look at some alternatives, but the version of OSX has a part to play in what can be done, so which version is it? -
External Hard drive "not readable", does not show up in Disk Warrior either. Help me, please!
I have a 500gb G Drive Slim that is almost brand new. I accidentally pulled the cord out when it was connected, and now when I try to open it, it says "not readable by this computer." This is what I see when I go into disc utility:
I called G Drive, and they told me to download Disk Warrior 4. I did, and this is what I see when I open it:
My hard drive doesn't show up...i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but I just paid $100 dollars for this and I'd really like some help. I read the manual and it wasn't helpful at all.
Please help me!Make sure it's format is Mac OS Extended (Journeled).
To check it's format, plug in the External HDD and search Disk Utility in the spotlight. Click the External HDD and go to the Partition tab. If it isn't Mac OS Extended change it and format it.
You shouldn't need any of these external applications to use it. I have one and use it like a flash drive. -
Since installing PS CC 2014 I have had serious problems.
Problems one could expect from a 'new' software.
However, having my drives' directories damaged due to Scratch Disks is something I have never seen before.
I had PS use an SSD as Scratch Disk. As this became full, I assigned another scratch disk (This time a RAID0).
As it ran full (200GB of PS Scratch) All the other files on that drive vanished. And photoshop was no longer able to even save the current document
(event though the destination had enough space avail.) See screenshot:(Watch the finder status in the back, the doc to be saved was 200MB and my disk had 3.38 GB avail.
But PS would not let me save due to scratch disks full)
Anyway, back to the serious problem. The RAID0 scratch disk, after I quit PS, was not longer mountable.
Trying to repair it with DU reported:
And trying with terminal This:
** /dev/rdisk13
Executing fsck_hfs (version hfs-226.1.1).
** Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
** Checking extents overflow file.
** Checking catalog file.
** Rebuilding catalog B-tree.
CreateNewBTree returned -34
Disk full error
So I went ahead and did some research and found Disk Warrior.
It was able to rebuild my catalog and I am up an running again.
But having to spend $99 on a PS bug is not so nice. I have been able to recreate this problem 3 times the past hours.
The problem occurs only when PS is using the RAID as Scratch disk. If I try to fill the drive by writing to it via terminal or Finder,
i just get a Disk is Full. PS on the other hand will blow the catalog and make the disk unmountable...
Any Ideas ?Thanks for your reply, Chris Cox. I've checked the Windows System Event Log and here are the details:
Details (Tab) of same error (Photoshop)
I noticed since Jan 5, 2015, Photoshop has crashed a lot. I run Adobe Illustrator with it but it doesn't give the same errors. Other applications run fine too, so I'm not sure if it as you mentioned that it is the "system" that is crashing so often.
(You seem to have suggested a video card upgrade. I will work on that next. Thanks)
I hope you or anyone who can, help me with this problem with Photoshop and the issue with my account in Creative Cloud.
Looking forward to your help. Thank you. -
How do I restore files from External Harddrive - Disk warrior cannot rebuild
Hi Guys
I have a External Hard drive that I can see via Disk Ulitity and shows in finder - but I cannot see the actual files and directories, hence not being able to copy them to a new external hard drive
When I connect the External Harddrive to my Macbook I'm getting the message
"OS X can't repair the disk "Untitled"
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Disk Utility says I have free space so it is recognising the files. I have Time Machine backups on this external harddrive "Untitled" that I need to critical use.
Basically how do I get the files off this external harddrive before it fully stops working? I have tried rebuilding the disk with Disk Warrior but this does not work.
Thank you anyone! I hope someone can help!Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.
