Why you might want *this* version:

Older versions of DiskWarrior "updated" to version 3.0.3 can not be updated again. The
Original CD from DiskWarrior is required in order to be able to update to future
versions. Confirmed working with Tiger 10.4.3.

This comes from an actual retail disk that was purchased from Alsoft and shipped via

Why do I need DiskWarrior?

DiskWarrior is the only program where there is never a risk of losing directory data and
thus never a risk of losing access to your files.

Only DiskWarrior has all of these features:

• Uses directory data to quickly rebuild the directory structure
• Eliminates risk of losing access to files    other disk "repair" utilities attempt to fix the
directory by patching the directory structure and risk deleting sections of the directory
• Scavenges directory to find all salvageable file and folder data, even data contained
in damaged nodes
• Eliminates unseen directory errors, preventing minor directory errors from escalating
into major problems
• Recovers lost files and folders
• Optimizes directory for maximum directory performance, speeding up overall disk
performance
 • Monitors drive hardware for potential drive failure
• Verification of replacement directory ensures data integrity
• Comparison of original directory with replacement directory tells you which files and
folders may have been affected by directory damage
• Patented preview feature to view what the disk will look like after the directory is
rebuilt, allowing you to view files and folders before any directory changes are written
to disk
• Repairs damaged boot blocks and blesses the system folder to ensure that the
computer will start from the repaired disk
• Checks custom icon files for corruption, eliminating a common cause of system
crashes
• Repairs problems with wrapper volume System files caused when HFS Plus disks are
initialized under Mac OS 9.0 - 9.0.4
• Safely permits interruptions of any kind, including power outages
• Advanced "Verify Reads and Writes" technology protects your data
• Supports bad block sparing software
• Supports file journaling (Mac OS X 10.2.2 or later)

What's new in DiskWarrior 3.0.3?

• Version 3.0.3 now supports Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger's new Access Control Lists (ACL) and
extended file attributes. It has improved journaling support and enhanced RAID
support, including the new concatenated RAID volumes. DiskWarrior 3.0.3 is compatible
with Mac OS X versions 10.2.1 through 10.4.

DiskWarrior provides native directory repair. This version is not a simple port to Mac OS
X; extensive changes have been made to the application, allowing DiskWarrior to take
advantage of advanced technologies in Mac OS X. The new version offers dramatic
speed improvements, supports file journaling and Mac OS X RAIDs, offers full Unicode
support, conforms to Apple's security standards, uses Mac OS X's native memory model,
and rebuilds directories on disks as large as 2,000 gigabytes (2 terabytes).

DiskWarrior 3 and Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger)

In order to run DiskWarrior while started from Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) you will need to
use DiskWarrior version 3.0.3. Earlier versions of DiskWarrior, while not compatible with
Tiger, will not harm your disk. Attempting to rebuild a disk with DiskWarrior 3.0.2 or
earlier, while started from Tiger, will result in an error stating that a "Mac OS Services"
failure occurred.

Attempting to rebuild a Tiger disk while started from a DiskWarrior 3.0.2 CD can also
result in an error message stating that "This disk appears to have a newer version of
the Mac OS disk format than this version of DiskWarrior." When started from earlier
versions of the DiskWarrior CD, DiskWarrior may simply indicate that the disk cannot be
repaired. In all cases, DiskWarrior 3.0.2 and earlier, will not harm your disk.
DiskWarrior 3.0.3 is now shipping on DiskWarrior CD revision 39.
All Mac models introduced as of 10/19/2005 and meeting the requirements for DiskWarrior
can be started from the DiskWarrior CD. The new iBook models introduced on 07/26/2005,
the new iMac G5 (with built-in iSight) models introduced on 10/12/2005 and the new Power
Mac G5 (dual-core) and PowerBook models introduced on 10/19/2005 can be started from
the current CD. Click here to learn how to repair the directory of a disk in a Mac model

Conquer Disk Damage!

DiskWarrior is the most highly decorated Mac disk repair utility ever. It repairs disks
that no other program can repair. New hardware monitoring helps protect your data
from drive malfunctions.

What is DiskWarrior?
DiskWarrior is the safest, the most technologically advanced, and the most powerful
utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer. DiskWarrior uses a
different approach to disk directory repair than other programs. DiskWarrior is not a
disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original
directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement
directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files and
folders that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover.

How does DiskWarrior recover data no one else can?

At Alsoft, we know that the most important thing when you are attempting to repair
your disks is getting your data back. That's why the first thing DiskWarrior does is it
scavenges your original directory to find all the file data it can. It then uses this data to
build an entirely new replacement directory. DiskWarrior is the only product that finds
all of your data. Its patent pending method always results in a perfectly rebuilt directory
without any errors and that contains all of your file and folder data.

How does DiskWarrior safeguard data from hardware malfunction?

Hardware failure presents a potential threat to your data. When a drive mechanism
fails, the data on the drive can be lost, with an expensive data recovery service your
only option to retrieve your data. DiskWarrior can be used to activate internal
diagnostics that are built into disk devices to help determine if a drive is in danger of
physical malfunction. If the potential for failure is indicated, DiskWarrior will notify you,
giving you the opportunity to back up your data before the drive fails. These tests can
be executed manually, or you can choose to have the tests run automatically every
hour, day, or week. DiskWarrior also provides several notification options should the
diagnostics report a problem.

How Can I Rebuild My Startup Disk?

DiskWarrior ships on a CD-ROM that will start up in Mac OS X on a Mac with a G3 or
higher processor (including a G5) with built-in USB and 128 MB (256 MB recommended)
of RAM.
Once started from the DiskWarrior CD, DiskWarrior can be run from the CD to eliminate
all damage to any HFS (Mac OS Standard) and HFS Plus (Mac OS Extended) disk
directories, including your normal startup disk as well as journaled disks (but not case-
sensitive disks). Version 2.1 of DiskWarrior, also included, runs and installs on a 68020
Mac or better when started from Mac OS 7.1 to 9.x. Either version of DiskWarrior
repairs any supported disk no matter which version of the Mac OS is installed on the
disk being repaired.
 
Requirements for DiskWarrior
To rebuild the directory on a Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus)
disk, DiskWarrior requires a Mac OS computer with a G3 or better processor (such as a
G4 or G5) with built-in USB and a minimum of 256 MB RAM (384 MB or more
recommended) to start up and run from the DiskWarrior CD, regardless of what
operating system is installed on the disk to be rebuilt. The computer must also have the
latest firmware updates (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117)
installed. The disk to be rebuilt must be locally connected, must not be write protected,
must have a valid partition map and must have a case-insensitive directory. If you plan
to rebuild the directory on your startup disk, you need to start up from another disk
capable of starting up in Mac OS X 10.2.1 through 10.4, such as the DiskWarrior CD.
(DiskWarrior cannot be run while started up from the Apple Mac OS X install CD.)

If you wish to enable DiskWarrior's automatic hardware monitoring, you will need to
install the DiskWarrior application on your Mac OS computer. To install the DiskWarrior
application, you must have a Mac OS computer running Mac OS X 10.2.1 through 10.4
with at least 256 MB RAM. Installing DiskWarrior is not required to run the application
from the DiskWarrior CD to rebuild a disk directory.
