![]() Insert the original DiskWarrior CD (to validate it).So what’s the problem?Īlsoft released DiskWarrior 4.4. To run DiskWarrior on my main drives, I reboot the Mac to the secondary drive and run it from there. I’ve installed DiskWarrior on a secondary boot drive on my Mac Pro. I don’t have the answer for that, as both my Macs (each from a 2008 vintage) come equipped with SuperDrives. So, the question is: how do you run DiskWarrior on these newer Macs? This is understandable, to some degree, as you can’t really run DiskWarrior from the same drive its installed on – but for those of us that have multiple hard drives, Alsoft’s decision to stick with the disc medium is a little frustrating.Īpple is clearly saying good-bye to discs, given the fact that the SuperDrive has been dropped on nearly all modern Mac models. Instead, I want to address a concern I have as a Mac user with regards to DiskWarrior’s deliverable format: the CD. In short, it’s my go-to utility when my Mac acts up. I’ve written about DiskWarrior before, so I won’t attempt to regenerate that discussion here. Disk Warrior doesn’t just fix wonky directory trees – it rebuilds it, fresh from the ground up, potentially recovering data that would otherwise be lost. Over time, the Mac’s directory tree can get munged (“Invalid node tree”, anyone?), which in turn can cause files to disappear. ![]() DiskWarrior, Mavericks and the modern Mac: my observationsĭiskWarrior, the venerable utility from Alsoft, is my go-to utility to preventative maintenance on the Mac.
