Disk Warrior with PC???

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 advance

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?

Running Disk Warrior *with* network access?

I have a machine with a bad drive that several people have stated Disk Warrior will have no problem fixing. However, the only drive I have with enough room to pull files to is in my own machine. That drive is shared on the network.
Reading over the DW documentation, and aided by their tech support, it appears the DW's bootup does not support networking of any sort. It *will* talk to a network drive if it is already mounted on the machine in question.
So can anyone think of a way to do this? I have a USB with the 10.7.4 installer on it, which (IIRC) boots into Disk Tools when you start off of it. Is there some way to access/mount a network drive in when booted this way?

The Disk Warrior support people may be able to suggest a method to use their product, however it was historically intended to be run from an operating system or a boot volume on a disc. A bootable clone in external drive (with DW installed) was a method I'd used some years ago on a Mac OS X far far antiquated.
Not sure if the Installer would be able to be used in that way, from the USB flash drive; it may be unable to choose the Disk Warrior. If the suspect failed computer has no built in optical drive, but can network to another which has one, a DVD media (maybe) could be run from another Mac. I've always used cables, and as fast as possible ports that support the OS X data flow and booting clones, etc. Some aspects of sharing require the system to work.

PhotoShop CC 2014 - Blowing Directories on Hard Drives - Should Ship with a free Version of Disk Warrior ;-)

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.

Disk Warrior not compatible with OS 10.4.6?

I purchased DiskWarrior (version 3.03) last year and used it once on my old 1.6 GHz iMac with OS 10.3.6.
I now have a 2.1 GHz non-Intel iSight iMac with Mac OS 10.4.6.
I have tried twice to start up from the DiskWarrior CD - the first time, I never got beyond the grey apple and very loud fans whirring; the second time, I got another grey icon (sort of like a traffic sign - a circle with a line through it) along with the spinning wheel. Both times I gave up after 30 minutes and turned the iMac off with the power button.
This is a bit expensive for a one time use. It seems that DiskWarrior is not compatible with OS 10.4.6 and/or the iSight iMac? I checked the Alsoft website - v. 3.03 is the latest version available.

Wow! I think that you will either need to wait until your external drive is free to be erased, or to buy another external drive to be able to do everything you want all at once.
Once you have a free drive, divide it into two partitions, including one that is only about 5GB. Install a bare system using your iMac's Install & Restore Disc 1 onto this small partition. Customize your installation by choosing not to install printer drivers, languages, iLife applications, extra fonts or X11. This installation will be a little over 2GB.
When you first visit this system's Desktop, go to Software Update and install only the 10.4.6 Combined Update, any Java updates and possibly QuickTime 7.0.4. Reboot and repair permissions. Remove everything from the Dock but Safari and System Preferences. Drag Disk Utility into the Dock from your Applications/Utilities/ folder.
Launch Safari, go to shirtpocket.com and download and install the cloning utility, SuperDuper! Drag SuperDuper!'s icon from your Utilities folder to the Dock. Register it if you want the added features, or use the unregistered version to make your clones fresh each time.
Next, insert the Disk Warrior disc (any version of Disk Warrior 3.0.3 will do here) and drag DW to your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. Drag Disk Warrior's icon in your Utilities folder to the Dock.
Now you need only boot into your small maintenance partition to launch Disk Warrior so you can run it on your iMac and/or the clone that is on the external's larger partition. And of course, you'll clone your iMac to the larger partition on your external drive by booting into the smaller partition and running SuperDuper! from there.
Simple!

Disk Warrior and 'The Folder with the ? Mark'

Good morning. My MacBook recently crashed and I am left with the dreaded and endlessly blinking 'Question Mark Folder'. I have tried to restart using the System Disk and running Disk Utility but the Hard Drive is nowhere to be found.
I have read in the Discussions that running DiskWarrior may help. I have the program on my PowerBook G4 as well as on an external hard drive, but I do not have a DiskWarrior disc. Is there a way to run the program from these to repair the drive on my MacBook or retrieve my data? If not, is there a way to make a DiskWarrior disc from my .dmg file?
Thanks for your help.
John

Disk Warrior comes on a bootable disc unless you downloaded it or lost yours. You cannot easily make a bootable CD or DVD, but your could put it on a bootable external hard drive that has a bootable copy of OS X (current version) and your copy of DW must be at least 4.0 for Tiger or 4.1 for Leopard.
However, it's most unlikely that DW will help you because the question mark means that important system files are lost or corrupted. The solution is to reinstall OS X. It's possible you can do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X 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 Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) 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, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Rebuild with Disk Warrior

My hard drive failed the other day. I ran Disk Utility on it and when trying to repair permissions, I got errors saying that Disk Utility could not fix problems because of a drive failure.
I tried Drive Genius to do some diagnostics, but it couldn't do anything to the drive.
So, I can rebuild the drive with Disk Warrior, but it can't replace it. It will let me preview it. So, I can move the files to another drive. But what do I do after that? I assume I have to wipe the drive and reformat it. But then how do I get the backed up info onto that drive? Can I use Disk Utility for that? I know there's a Restore feature. If I can get the files onto the drive, will it be bootable?
Also, the drive is healthy, according to Disk Warrior, but should this be an indication that it's time for a new drive?

Kurt, it occurs to me that Al might be trying to rebuild that drive while still booted from it. He didn't mention it, but you didn't ask. If that's the problem, Disk Warrior would, as always, return the message that it can rebuild the directory info but can't replace it.
I'm sure Al already knows this. However, even very experienced people get in a hurry and forget that they must boot (and run Disk Warrior) from another drive (or from the CD / DVD that Alsoft ships to purchasers, which has both Disk Warrior and an OS X boot system on it) if they want to actually complete a repair of their main boot HD.
If you boot from the drive that you're trying to scan and repair, Disk Warrior will play nice and scan it, and can do various other graphing and diagnostic functions, but DW will refuse to whack, optimize and replace the directory & table files -- which is what performs the actual DW magic.

FYI: New version of Disk Warrior seems to hang when run with Snow Leopard

FYI: It seems that the new version of Disk Warrior hangs when run in Snow Leopard

I have been using DW 4.2 on 10.5.8 and the speed-up was the first thing I noted, too, so it isn't just SL.
Now if it would only 'come up for air' and respond to input to move window (so I can put it where I can see it if needed) I'd like that.
There is a 23 page review of Snow Leopard on Ars. On page 22:
People sometimes ask what, exactly, is wrong with HFS+.
Aside from its obvious lack of the features just listed, HFS+ is limited in many ways by its dated design, which is based on HFS, *a twenty-five year-old file system.*
To give just one example, the centrally located Catalog File, which must be updated for each change to the file system's structure, is a frequent and inevitable source of contention. Modern file systems usually spread their metadata around, both for robustness (multiple copies are often kept in separate locations on the disk) and to allow for better concurrency.
Practically speaking, think about those times when you run Disk Utility on an HFS+ volume and it finds (and hopefully repairs) a bunch of errors. *That's bad, okay?* +*That's something that should not happen*+ with a modern, thoroughly checksummed, always-consistent-on-disk file system unless there are hardware problems (and a ZFS storage pool can actually deal with that as well). And yet it happens all the time with HFS+ disks in Mac OS X when various bits of metadata to get corrupted or become out of date.
Apple gets by year after year, tacking new features onto HFS+ with duct tape and a prayer, but at a certain point there simply has to be a successor—whether it's ZFS, a home-grown Apple file system, or something else entirely. My fingers are crossed for Mac OS X 10.7.
If Disk Utility was reliable in mapping out weak sectors (it is not) and report/log errors. But it doesn't and I trust my data to other file systems when possible. We've come to expect and depend on 3rd party utilities and that Apple First Aid doesn't fix every possible error.
Scanning one drive for errors can take a long time. Maybe it needs to be done, maybe in the background. With 2TB drives it gets worse. Spending hours to scan for errors??? I've set TechTool Pro to concurrently scan anywhere from one to a dozen volumes at once.
An ounce of prevention, as they say, is worth a pound of cure.

Issues with freezing and now, Disk Warrior.

My Mac keeps freezing (with the pinwheel). I went to run Disk Warrior to see if that helped, and it told me to delete a file that didn't exsist (com.Alsoft.diskwarrior.prefs... or something like that). I am at the end of my rope. Please help.

OK thanks. With the exception of the Disk Warrior dialog, everything looks completely normal.
I recommend doing as it says - find Disk Warrior prefs and drag it to the trash. Most likely you will find it in your user's Library folder. To find it navigate to your Macintosh HD, open the Library folder, and open the Preferences folder. Find the suspect file and drag it out of there.
Yours will not look exactly like the following but you shoud be able to figure it out:
You should also find a way to get rid of Disk Warrior. It is not helping and may be hurting.
Troubleshooting this problem will also be hindered by not having an original system install DVD. Without it you will not be able to run Apple Hardware Test, you will not be able to repair your hard disk using Disk Utility, and you will you be able to reinstall the OS, which is one of the suggested remedies in the link I posted earlier. I recommend you buy a replacement disk from Apple if for no other reason than to be able to reinstall an unadulterated version of Snow Leopard. It is only $30.
There are some other things to try.
Creating a temporary user to isolate user-specific problems: Isolating an issue by using another user account
Starting the computer in "safe mode": Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Read about what Safe Mode does before doing it - particularly, it will take longer to boot and some things simply won't work normally. However, if running in safe mode stops the freezes it will be a clue we can work with.

Is Disk Warrior 4.3 fully compatible with 10.7?

Anyone had experiences, please, good or bad with the hitherto venerable Disk Warrior?
I have the latest version, 4.3, which was released in February of this year - almost six monthe before Lion.
The Alsoft site says DW 4.3 is compatible…
Any advice gratefully received.
TIA

Thanks, everyone!
My iMac seems to be twice as fast now :-)
Though I couldn't boot from the 4.3 updater DVD I made… perhaps it's not compatible with mid-2011 iMacs.
Also seems to take a little longer to boot from Macintosh HD now. Probably imagining it!
Marc at Alsoft very helpful.

Assistance with Disk Warrior and Flashing Question Mark

Hello, guys!
I need a help. My computer was not booting and kept flashing question mark. I've tried First Aid, didn't help. Then I've checked with Apple store technicians, after all they reccommentd me to run Disk Warrior v.4. I did, but it couldn't create a directory for the files. What does it mean? What would be next step?
Thank you very much for any advice.

Hi, Olimpia. If your hard drive's directory is very, very badly damaged, DiskWarrior may not be able to reconstruct it. Did you see an error message in Diskwarrior that said something like that? If so, you have no choice but to use something like Data Rescue II to recover what files it can, and then erase and zero the hard drive and start over.
If you didn't see any error message, but Diskwarrior seemed to be taking a very long time and didn't appear to be doing anything, it was probably still working and just needed time and patience. I've seen several reports of Diskwarrior successfully rebuilding badly damaged directories but taking several days to do it, and one instance when it successfully completed a rebuild after *14 days* of continuous work. If it doesn't show any error message, just let it keep on working.

Disk Warrior/Disk Utility Hangs with External HD

okay, so i will try to make this as quick as possible.
last year, i had an external hard drive that i had been saving all my audio work on. one day i had to restart (i was having a lot of problems with my then IBook G4) so i did, and the drive was no where to be found. made sure there was no connection problems (ie my USB ports) and everything seemed fine. let it sit for a while, thinking maybe it was just tired or something. tried again, same story, and it also made disk utility hang. tried it on a friends mac, same issue.
i also had a a lot of video/music that i watched with my xbox 360. i could still access those files with the xbox, which was weird.
so then my ibook eventually died, and here i am with a newer G5 quad. i tried it again, and still the disk utility hangs, and ive also tried Disk warrior 4. this also hangs.
also, i have tried switching the enclosure to no avail.
its not the end of the world if i cant get the data back, but i would REALLY like to.
any suggestions?

System Profiler shows the same thing: "Manufacturer: PI-236" for each of these HDs. I'm not sure how to rename these drives (I'm not talking about the partitions on them, which I've given descriptive names).
The strange thing is that on my MacBook Air (upgraded to Lion) one of these HDs (now connected via USB) shows up in Disk Utility as "Ext Hard Disk Media" instead of "PI-236". Still not a whole lot of information, you'll notice.
Another external HD (partitioned earlier under Snow Leopard) is shown correctly as "SAMSUNG HD501LJ Media" on both computers.

G5 will only re-start with Disk Warrior CD! Not Hard Drive...

I just ran Disk Warrior. Now when the computer re-starts, it keeps re-booting on the CD drive.
How do I change to the regular hard drive.
I've tried ejecting the CD. I've turned computer off for several minutes. It still re-starts on CD.
Thanks.

Disk Warrior 4.2 on Mini Intel Core 2 Duo with OS 10.6 won't boot...

Disk Warrior 4.2 works on my MBP Intel Core 2 Duo, but not on my
Mac Mini Intel Core 2 Duo. I did the DW update to 4.2 and inserted it into my MBP... worked fine. Did the same on my Mac Mini (both have 10.6 OS) and all it would do is give me the start up chime (holding C down of course) over and over and over. When I would finally let up on the C, it would boot into 10.6, showing the DW disk on the desktop.
Any ideas? I've repaired permissions on the Mini and tried again... same result. Thanks....

The DiskWarrior folks state that the 4.2 update disc that you make will only start the same computers that the original disc that you bought from them was able to start.
If your DW update disc does meet those requirements on your Mini, then you may have to try remaking a new update disc, perhaps using a different brand of DVD/CD media.

Disk Warrior with PC???
