34 Chapter 2: Using DiskWarrior Running DiskWarrior
11) DiskWarrior will install the rebuilt directory 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 the disk you selected in step 4 was your startup disk, your System Folder
may need to be “reblessed” in order to successfully restart from this disk.
If you have one system folder on this disk, DiskWarrior will automatically rebless the
system folder. If there is more than one system folder on the disk, DiskWarrior will
present you with a dialog and ask you which system folder should be blessed.
DiskWarrior will also repair any damage to the boot blocks if necessary.
13) 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.
14) If any items were missing in the Preview (step 8) and found to be invisible,
you can make them visible now.
These are the steps to perform in ResEdit (available free from Apple) to make an item
visible. First, go to ResEdit’s File menu and select "Get File/Folder Info." Next, select the
item in the dialog that appears and click the "Get Info" button. Uncheck the Invisible
check box, and then choose "Save" from the File menu. The item should now appear
within its containing folder.
15) If you have started your Mac OS computer from a disk besides your normal
startup disk (such as the DiskWarrior CD or a Mac OS system CD), select
“Restart” from the Special menu to resume running from your normal
startup disk.
