I would like to recover seven files/folders that were on the desk top of a HD that will no longer mount after bootup. Those seven files/folders are on an IDE 20 GB WD 200 HD which is identified as follows:
MDL is WD20088, DATE is 21 Jun 2001, DCM is HSCAEGHA. The HD is an internal slave HD in a PowerPC 400 MHz G4 Mac desktop with 768 SDRAM and OS 10.4.11 installed. The HD has more htan 22,000 hours on it. Disk Utility checked that HD but could not repair it. "Disk Utility" displayed the error message: "exceded maxmium B tree depth," which is apparently a directory problem. That is an error beyond the capability of "Disk Utility" to repair. If I can get that HD to mount, and if those seven files/folders are readable, I can then copy them from the desk top to one or more other HD's so that I have a back up and some peace of mind.. I have Disk Warrior bought October 20, 2011 from Alsoft. Before I use Disk Warrior, are there any pitfalls I should be aware of? Thanks in advance.
