28 Chapter 2: Using DiskWarrior Running DiskWarrior
9) If the DiskWarrior CD is not the startup disk, make sure 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.
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.
10) Click “Replace” to use the replacement directory, or “Cancel” to leave the
directory untouched.
If you click “Replace,” DiskWarrior will write the replacement directory to 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 30 in this chapter).
11) DiskWarrior will write the rebuilt directory to the disk and keep you
updated with its progress.
DiskWarrior uses a fail-safe method of replacing the directory whenever possible,
which will be most cases. To use the fail-safe method, there merely needs to be enough
free space on the disk to write the new directory. There is redundancy designed into
the fail-safe method, assuring there is never any risk of ending up with an unusable disk
if the process is interrupted. You can go back to step 4 for any disk for which the
process was interrupted.
12) If there were any files listed in the DiskWarrior Report as occupying
portions of the disk already occupied by other files, DiskWarrior will
relocate the files to unique portions of the disk now.
When the procedure is complete, you must inspect these files to determine which of
them had been overwritten and damaged. The detailed view of the report lists the files
that overlap. The amount of time that this process takes depends upon the amount of
disk space taken by the overlapped files.
