7:00 PM EST Hello All, As I'm writing this on my PB, DiskWarrior 3 is running from the CD on my 7300. I started the CD using XPF v2.2.5. My configuration is as follows; OS X 10.2.6 Sonnet Crescendo G4-400 Sonnet Tango FW/USB card ATI Radeon Mac Edition 32mb Farallon PCI Ethernet card Quantum Atlas lV 36GB HD Primary Disk 5 Partitions 9.17-8.64-7.92-7.92-.58 GB IBM 9GB HD Secondary Disk 2 Partitions 6.41-2.14 GB The first run took about 45 minutes 2 million plus files were checked Ran the preview and the graph functions with no problems. 8:00 PM EST Now for a real test... I had v.10.2.2 on another partition that messed up on me and neither DiskWarrior 2.1 or Nortons DD 6.0.3 could bring it back to life. So I'm now running DW3 on it.....103000 ovelapped files later it doesn't look good. Overall I'm pleased with this products ability to perform preventive maintenance and rebuild ones disks. When you quit the application you must remember to eject the CD or it will continually reboot your mac. |

Yes Nick, You are probably right in that assessment. But I had just recently installed OS X on my partition and I was reasonably sure that no major problems existed. But as you pointed out a "DiskWarrior Partition" would probably be a better choice. As I have a 580 MB partition I will try it next and report back. |

Surely if you want to repair your OSX disk you need to specify some other partition as the target? Otherwise XPF will install its temporary files onto your possibly damaged partition and cause further corruption. It seems sensible to keep a small spare partition available for this purpose. |

Yes Paul. Treat as a install disk and your your OS X disk as the target. |

How did you do that? Did you treat the DW3 CD like an OSX install CD, to get it to boot under XPF? |
