Use an advanced recovery mode in DiskWarrior
Authored by: macmaxbh on Aug 01, '06 03:39:08PM
The documentation (available by going to the help menu or delving into the DiskWarrior package) says this about the scavenge command:
What to Do If You Used Another Utility First
If you have used another utility before DiskWarrior and now have a directory that has no errors but is missing data, you can make DiskWarrior scavenge the directory to find the lost data if the other utility did not write over it. Hold down the Option key in step
6) Click the Rebuild button. The Rebuild button will change to Scavenge and when you press Scavenge, DiskWarrior will scavenge the directory.
Note: This is the same scavenge procedure DiskWarrior uses to recover your data when it finds directory errors, but it normally skips the scavenge procedure when the directory has no major errors. Therefore, you do not need to make DiskWarrior scavenge the directory except when DiskWarrior states "All file and folder data was easily located" in the DiskWarrior Report but you suspect that files and/or folders are still missing from the replacement directory.
