DiskWarrior problem
Thanks to Phil Burk and Darin for comments. I tried running DW from the CD but even that does not seem to work OK. It found stuff wrong with one partition, rebuilt the directory for the partition, replaced the directory. Then I tried to rebuild the same directory again, and the same stuff was wrong. Several times. I am waiting for the next DW update.

If you can boot into 9 and have the Disk Warrior CD, try running it from there. Otherwise, I'm stumped. Please let us know how this situations pans out. Good luck. Darin I am waiting for the next DW update.

One, got a recent backup? *grin* Two, contact Alsoft tech support with this issue if you have a drive that never seems to be repaired with DW. If you are using DW 3 does the SMART check return that the drive is functioning OK? I suspect that you may have a hardware problem if DW cannot fix recurring errors.

DiskWarrior problem
Darin, I have a Tibook, 1 GHz, which doesn't boot into OS 9, as far as I know. From the CD, DW rebuilds three partition directories, but on the fourth partition, as I said, the rebuilding doesn't take. If it worries me too much, I will erase the fourth partition and reinstall 10.3. Till then, I'll wait for Alsoft to update DW All the best,Mike On 2 Dec 2003, at 20:30, G-Books wrote: Date: Tue, 02 Dec 2003 01:39:37 -0800 Subject: Re: DiskWarrior problem From: Darin Ames [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] In-Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 12/2/03 1:13 AM, Michel Treisman at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks to Phil Burk and Darin for comments.
