Strategies for Rebuilding with DiskWarrior Chapter 2: Using DiskWarrior 27

Strategies for Rebuilding with DiskWarrior

Caution: If you suspect there is directory damage on your disk, it is recommended that you

run DiskWarrior before other disk repair utilities. Other disk repair utilities may render the

directory damage irreparable even to DiskWarrior. As you will see in the next section,

DiskWarrior shows you your rebuilt disk before ﬁnalizing the repairs. This allows you to

preview what your rebuilt disk will look like before you decide to ﬁnalize the rebuild. The

other utilities may perform actions on your disk that result in a “repaired” directory

structure but with missing or damaged data, or they will incorrectly begin to “repair” your

directory and then give up when they realize that they have modiﬁed the directory to an

irreparable state (for more information on directory structure and directory data, refer to

What is the Directory? on page 9, "Chapter 1: Introduction."). These cases may prevent

even DiskWarrior from recovering all of your ﬁles.

Using DiskWarrior as Preventative Maintenance

The most basic use of DiskWarrior is as preventative maintenance for your disks. Many forms of

directory damage do not manifest themselves until long after the damage has actually occurred.

You can prevent this damage from escalating by running DiskWarrior on your disks regularly.

DiskWarrior will rebuild your disk directory, eliminating all existing directory damage. The re-

built disk directory will also be optimized for maximum disk performance. You will ﬁnd doing

this regular maintenance of your directories more useful than rebuilding your desktop. Simply

follow the instructions in Running DiskWarrior on page 30 in this chapter on a regular basis

and you will be able to prevent minor directory errors from turning into major catastrophes!

Using DiskWarrior When There Seems to Be a Problem

As you use your computer, particularly after crashes, you may believe there to be missing ﬁles or

folders, or there may be crashes when ﬁles are used. You may have another program such as

DiskExpress Pro or PlusOptimizer reporting directory damage. You can use DiskWarrior to re-

build your disk directories, and thus recover the missing ﬁles or folders, reduce the likelihood

of crashes, or allow your disk optimization program to optimize your disk. Just follow the in-

structions in the next section, Running DiskWarrior on page 30 in this chapter. If you believe

the problem is with your startup disk, refer to Rebuilding Your Startup Disk on page 38 in this

chapter.

Using DiskWarrior to Recover Data from Malfunctioning Disks

Occasionally, due to a mechanical malfunction, a disk becomes unusable. Unfortunately, you

usually still have data you need on the disk when this happens. Although a malfunctioning disk
