Use an advanced recovery mode in DiskWarrior
Here's another tip I accidentally discovered the other day: You know the Disk Warrior Preview window with the side-to-side directory comparison that you only seem to get while booted to the DW CD? Run DW while booted to a hard drive. Hit F6 (or Fn-F6 on a portable). Thank Alsoft for their incredible lack of documentation. The option key trick for Scavenge is in the manual but this is nowhere to be found. Been using the OSX version since it came out and have been wishing the preview thing was available on my diag HD ever since...
What is the preview good for?
Seriously, how useful is that preview? Am I supposed to check whether all of the 500 000 files on my drive are still there?
What is the preview good for?
No but if you see that there are serious errors found during the rebuild you can at least quickly navigate to critical folders and make sure they match up. A lot faster than opening up Finder windows, lining them up for comparison, and then switching between them to navigate to the same place. Besides, just because YOU don't find something useful doesn't mean someone won't...(insert argument and back and forth flames here) |
