Domain Name Com's - Software : ALSOFT DiskWarrior for OS X (Macintosh)

- Worthless software
My experience shows this to be absolutely worthless software. I do not understand how anyone could give it a good review. I wasted money on it based on the reviews that I've read. It scanned my drive, pointed out three problems, and told me the drive was unfixable. I installed Tech Tools Pro 4 and it scanned the same drive, reported the errors and fixed them. Twice Disk Warrior has proven to be totally impotent. Walk on by this product and invest in Tech Tools Pro 4. Would that I could get my money back.

- About the 10.3 update.
In a previous review the writer paid $20 for an update to osx10.3?

Just went to the Alsoft site and this is what it said:

"Customers who already own DiskWarrior 3.0 may download the DiskWarrior 3.0.1 CD Update free of charge from the Alsoft web site."

and

"Customers who own DiskWarrior 1.x or 2.x can can purchase the DiskWarrior 3.01 upgrade for $39.95 plus shipping and handling directly from Alsoft."

My G4 has been beautifully stable but software conflicts brought it to its knees. It is terrifying when your hard drive disappears and the disk utility repair functions are useless. If you see the warning, "overlapping extent allocation", breathe easier...DiskWarrior handles it. Before you call an expert (who over the phone suggested my drive had died) try DiskWarrior. Within 30 minutes, I had my computer back.

Diskwarrior is an essential utility for Mac OS X. I don't even wait til applications start quitting unexpectedly to use Diskwarrior. I even leave my Diskwarrior CD in the CD drive. I do a restart with the Diskwarrior CD and let it do it's thing to keep the directories in tip top shape as I start my day. After awhile, this becomes second nature..like brushing your teeth.

- Works Great (and a manual is barely required)
I had some 30 overlapped files (thanks to MSN) on my 10.2 OS G4. The most recent Techtool 4 couldn't do a thing. And the recommendations I saw on the net to run older versions of First Aid didn't work either. My computer was killing itself due to all these files sharing the same space.

DiskWarrior worked. Period.

A few caveats, however.

The PDF manual states quite clearly that you should first run DiskWarrior directly from the CD ROM before doing other things - such as installing the program on your own hard drive. It would have been nice to have that in writing.

The running of the program is simple and consists of, I believe, two mouse clicks. What manual do you need to do that? The program does what it does and it requires very few acts on the part of the user. But still, a printed manual would have been good. A mere 25 page leaflet would have been more than sufficient. Seems like this wouldn't add too much to the production cost of the software.

The big drawback here is time. DiskWarrior is sloooow. The start up takes several minutes and the maintenance itself, at least in my situation, took some five hours. I've never had a disk utility take so long to fix a problem. In any case, if you've got to fix your computer and you're using this software, don't plan on cheerily getting back to your computer in just a few minutes.

This is the second version of DiskWarrior I've owned. I had Vers. 1.0 which seemed to work, but it never saved my can. It always seemed that either Norton or Techtool could take care of almost any problem that DiskWarrior could. But not this time with OS X. I'm sure others have had differenct experiences, but this is still a good program. It's not going to fix all problems (no utility can), but it just might save your computer if it specifically has disk directory problems. Ultimately, you really do need to have at least two utilities. One of them is either Norton or Techtool. The other is DiskWarrior.
