Archive Disk Corrupted...Options?

	Archive Disk Corrupted...Options? by Borjis on May 11, 2007 at 9:44:22 pm I just had a Western Digital 500GB "My Book" come up as unreadable. Thankfully it only had 2 small projects on it. Disk First Aid in OS X cannot get anything (repair and verify do nothing) What other (hopefully free or low cost) options have I ? Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Archive Disk Corrupted...Options? by Arniepix on May 12, 2007 at 12:51:47 am Try Disk Warrior. Many of us swear by it. Also, if you're backing up to a hard drive, you should probably be backing up to 2 of them. For just this reason.

	Thanks Disk Warrior! by Borjis on May 12, 2007 at 7:00:35 am I did some further reading and found out about Disk Warrior. If allowed me to copy the 2 projects back to my array. Count me on the list of sworn users! Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

	Re: Thanks Disk Warrior! by rafalaos on May 12, 2007 at 11:16:59 am Borjis, I think that if everybody would use Diskwarrior or Techtools the number of posts in those forums would decrease in at least a 20%. Whenever I start to have problems with FC the first things that I do is to rstart in "safe mode", repair permissions and run one of those programs. The last things: Trash prefferences and re-install FC. Cheers, Rafael Respond to this post   •   Return to posts index

Maybe more. I can't even remember how long I've used DiskWarrior -- 20 years I think, maybe more. It's the one utility I'd never consider operating without. Truly indispensible. TechTools is also a winner, and I've used it for daily maintenance. But DiskWarrior is the one that's most often saved my life. Which is why I used them both. The reason that using them will reduce the number of questions here is because they'll reduce the number of problems you have. Buy 'em. Work better. Be happier.
