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. 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

Summary: Disk Warrior rescued my data
Comment: Disk Warrior was recommended to me by several Mac Bloggers after my external Hard Drive refused to mount on my desktop. It kept coming back with a node failure. I bought Disk Warrior (through another site) and it fixed the problem in 10 minutes. This was after I used several other types of "rescue software" I highly recommend this product.

Summary: fixed my disk!
Comment: I got this because my hard drive had an error that TechTool Pro wasn't able to fix. I put in DiskWarrior and within an hour it was done fixing my drive, and my drive was working better than ever. It works great, though I think the price is a little high. It should include more utilities for how much it costs... or TechTool should license the software to include in their program. There's no reason this should be a separate program.

Summary: Great at Rebuilding Directory Structure
Comment: Disk Warrior was able to recover the majority of my Macbook Hard Drive. With all the files on my computer it seems my directory structure was extremely corrupted after two years.
After one pass of the program I tried to rebuild the Mac Drive on the internal disk but it was so corrupted it didn't work. Next, I went out and bought an External hard disk but it was not formatted for mac so disk warrior would not copy the files to the non-formatted disk.
So, again it took five hours to rebuild a disk image, but this time I came ready with a Mac formatted external drive. The transfer of the files worked and I got all the data off the internal Macbook drive.
I found out a few days later that the disk had finally failed so it looks like disk warrior got the data out just in time.
Great product.

Summary: Depends On The Machine If It Works Or Not
Comment: I purchased DW for preventive maintenance because the Mac magazines usually say good things about it. I first used it on my iMac G5, OS X 10.5.4 w/2 GB ram and it refused to work. I ran another utility to fix a permissions problem, then tried DW again and it worked the way it's supposed to work. Then I tried it on my PowerBook G4, OS X 10.5.4 w/2 GB ram. I ran Cocktail Utility first, and then tried DW. No go. Laptop Freezes. After many unsuccessful attempts to get DW running on my G4 laptop, I emailed tech support. After numerous back and forth correspondence suggestions, DW tech support told me I have to boot my laptop from another Mac machine before DW will work. HUH? I have to WHAT? The box says that DW works on my machine but it says nothing about booting from another machine in order to make their program work!?! Tech support = C- and DW = B- When it works it seems to do its thing just fine, but it doesn't always work.

Summary: Disk Warrior 4
Comment: This is a very good product that I have owned for several years and have the current update. It will generally fix your mac when other products like disk utility cannot. I have a couple of things worth mentioning though that keep me from giving it five stars. First of all it is slower than molasses in January. You can boot from it wait several minutes before the program starts then when it begins to rebuild the drive you might as well take a long nap. I have an aluminum imac running leopard. Now the upgrade works with this especially after you download the latest updater but with a 250 gb hard drive it takes at least three hours to rebuild the drive. The first time this happened i called Diskwarrior and spoke to a tech support who told me not to be in a hurry. I explained that the line was not moving across the screen, which indicates how far the rebuild has proceeded. He was rather rude to me and told me that no matter how long it takes that's how long it takes. So my recommendation is to run it before you go to bed at night and it will have the drive rebuilt in the morning. I would also recommend that their tech support take classes in how to talk to frustrated computer customers who are not used to waiting a long time for a product to work.
