New FeaturesĭiskWarrior 4 has a number of new features.

If you want to install the hardware monitoring, you'll have to install DiskWarrior on your computer, but that's not required if you simply want to run DiskWarrior from the CD to rebuild your directory. You'll have to start from 10.3.9 or higher. You do need a G3 Mac or better, and it must have built-in FireWire, 256 MB of RAM. It's been quite the wait for DiskWarrior fans, but DiskWarrior 4 fully supports PowerPC and Intel Macs.ĭiskWarrior 4 supports HFS, HFS Plus, RAID volumes, journaled disks, FileVaults and even iPods. Remember, the underlying disk format for Intel Macs is different. Making DiskWarrior Universal was no small task. It brings DiskWarrior into the Universal age so that you can use it on Intel Macs, it adds new features, and it's a whole lot faster. The latest version of DiskWarrior brings three things to the utility. This helps users by eliminating unseen directory errors, and preventing minor directory errors from escalating into major problems.

As a result, you can use DiskWarrior as a maintenance utility proactively. DiskWarrior's approach is to search the whole directory, to find all salvageable file and folder data including data contained in damaged nodes, and then creates a new replacement directory. Some utilities focus on fixing problem disk directories.

Compared to other utilities, it takes a different approach than conventional disk repair. Why? Because it works, and it works well not to mention, it has saved many from disaster.ĭiskWarrior 4 is latest release of Alsoft's disk repair utility for Macs. I once read a web posting that said something to the effect of 'There are two groups of people: those that already believe in DiskWarrior, and those that will someday believe in DiskWarrior.' While that may be a bit overstated, DiskWarrior continues to be one of the most beloved utilities on the Mac.
