Your Comments/Opinions

I got my DiskWarrior software last night when I got home from work. My iMac would not load up the Tiger OS Upgrade as there appeared to be something wrong with the "b tree". Before freaking out an buying a new hard drive, I decided to give your software a try. I loaded up the disk, rebooted and waited. Pretty soon the hard drive began making the dreaded "I'm a sick hard drive" noise. I left the computer room in disgust and left the program running. Two hours later, I returned to the computer room to see that DiskWarrior had indeed fixed my computer!! I loaded up Tiger with no glitches and have a very happy iMac.

Manufacturers Description/Specification

DiskWarrior 3.0 provides Mac OS X 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 3.0 ships on a Mac OS X bootable CD.

Added to DiskWarrior 3 is the ability to monitor drive hardware and warn you of impending drive failure. When a drive mechanism fails, the data on the drive can be lost, with an expensive data recovery service being your only option to retrieve your data. DiskWarrior can be configured to automatically check your drives for possible drive malfunction, giving you the opportunity to back up your data before a drive failure. When a drive is in danger of malfunction, you can choose to have DiskWarrior display an alert, send an e-mail, or run an AppleScript.
