Running DiskWarrior Chapter 2: Using DiskWarrior 33
Caution: Never remove the original disk or the preview disk from the desktop during
preview.
Note: If, when DiskWarrior switches you to the Finder during Preview, the Finder displays
out of memory messages, simply switch back to DiskWarrior, stop the Preview, and continue
with the following steps to rebuild the original disk. This situation can occur due to a
combination of the amount of available memory in your computer and the number of files
on the original and preview disks.
Caution: In the unlikely event that the preview disk remains on the desktop when
DiskWarrior is not running, do not use the preview disk. You should restart your computer
and attempt to rebuild the disk with DiskWarrior again.
9) Make sure that you close all files and folders, and quit any applications you
have tested in the previous step before proceeding.
You do not need to stop the Preview before proceeding, but you may if you wish.
DiskWarrior will automatically close all open applications and documents on the disk
being rebuilt.
Note: If the disk you have selected is locked, you will be able to preview the replacement
directory but you will not be able to write the new directory to the disk. For more
information about locked disks, refer to Troubleshooting on page 54, "Chapter 3:
Troubleshooting and Error Messages."
10) Click “Replace” to use the replacement directory, or “Cancel” to leave the
directory untouched.
If you click “Replace,” DiskWarrior will install the replacement directory on your disk.
This will result in your disk being “replaced” by the Preview disk described in step 8)
Test the replacement directory. If you click “Cancel,” your disk will be untouched and
you will be returned to step 4) Select the disk to be rebuilt from the disks pop-up
menu. The Replace button is disabled when the disk is locked, there is a malfunction,
or the disk is too severely damaged to be repaired.
Note: In the event that critical items that you wish to recover remain missing during the
preview, it is recommended that you do not proceed with the rebuild (refer to What to
Look for During Preview on page 35 in this chapter).
