Product Description
DiskWarrior is the safest, the most technologically advanced, and the most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer. DiskWarrior uses a different approach to disk directory repair than other programs. DiskWarrior is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files and folders that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover. Monitors drive hardware for potential drive failure Verification of replacement directory ensures data integrity Comparison of original directory with replacement directory tells you which files and folders may have been affected by directory damage Patented preview feature to view what the disk will look like after the directory is rebuilt, allowing you to view files and folders before any directory changes are written to disk Repairs damaged boot blocks and blesses the system folder to ensure that the computer will start from the repaired disk

 I Think It's Good July 28, 2008
Catharsis (Hollywood, CA USA)
If my computing functions are all that elaborate to really see it's benefits (I don't know) - so all I can say is - I think it works, my computer seems to run a little faster after a scan (CERTAINLY not worse). And I have exterior hard drive's that I have scanned too. But like I said, I'm not that complicated of a computer user (yet) - meaning just a few files on the exterior's. So in closing, it get's high marks on this site and CNET and from people (I'm sure) who do a lot more complex computing than I do, not to mention, it's good to have something that dose what it say's it dose, so I bought it...

I am an IT guy and I have used this program countless times to fix disk issues and recover data. That's what prompted me to write this review - I just successfully recovered over 20 gigabytes of data from a hard drive that was near dead - scratching sounds, beeping, etc. One of the biggest computer miracles I have seen... Worth every penny...
Alsoft Disk Warrior 4 July 18, 2008
J. Mccue (NJ)
My daughter has an ibook running Panther 10.3X and it was slowing up and Norton Utilities for MAc couldn't resolve the issues it saw. There was no place to go with Norton as they had pretty much orphaned the Mac Utilities at that point.
I read the reviews on Disk Warrior 4 and it seemed to have all pleased with it's performance.
I ordered it, opened it up- put it in the drive and booted thru, and it was rather simple-almost too simple, not many options but it did what it had to do and the machine seemed to run faster- then I pulled the 256 ram from under the keyboard and put in a 1GB stick ( an initial 256MB is embedded on the motherboard) for a total of 1.256 of ram- now its back to performing.
Yep, Disk Warrior 4 was worth the 100 or so I paid for it.
 Has saved me a few times June 23, 2008
Steven Meigs (University of South Florida)
I bought this due to disk damage that my other utilities programs could not fix. The installation was a bit problematic, but after struggling through it I was able to save my disk. (There was much rejoicing.) I have since used it again and again with good results. However (as has been noted), if you are using OS 10.5 Leopard on an Intel MacBook Pro, as I am, you had better have another FW drive you can boot from with the program installed. Booting from the CD to repair a drive was unsuccessful. That is the reason for only 4 stars. Not a big deal if you have another external drive, though. This program is the best drive repair utility I have found. (Note: It is NOT for scanning a drive to find deleted files to recover them.)
 "Leopard bootable" disk does NOT boot on 2008 hardware (MacPro) June 13, 2008

This highly regarded disk management utility works as claimed on most hard drives (including TimeMachine backup). Installation instructions lead one to believe to just pop the steeply-priced ver 4.1 CD into its slot, and you'll be able to rejuvenate your system volume. NOT SO!!
The latest CD (as well as the downloadable version) boots from OSX 10.4.9 and--as I discovered in a long frustrating afternoon--'Tiger' will not boot the 2008 version of the MacPro (nor some other 2008 Apple hardware). Had I known - after trolling the support database - that the fine print way down mentions ... just in passing ... that the MacPro will be supported only in a later release (no release date offered), I would not have purchased the product at this time [why bother, when the only 'workaround' is to boot from another Leopard installation].
Because the claims made are not supported by the facts, nor are the product's limitations clarified in the installation instruction sheet, I down-rate an otherwise fine product for wasting lots of my time and money.
