4) Select the disk to be rebuilt from the disks pop-up menu.
If you have problems finding the disk whose directory you want to rebuild, refer to
Problem: The disk I want to rebuild does not appear in the disks Pop-up menu. on
page 56, "Chapter 3: Troubleshooting and Error Messages."
5) The lower portion of the main window will indicate whether the directory is
ready to be rebuilt.
If for some reason DiskWarrior cannot rebuild the disk’s directory, it will indicate the
reasons the directory cannot be rebuilt. For more information on disk requirements
for repair, refer to Requirements on page 20 in this chapter. For methods to overcome
the reasons a disk directory cannot be rebuilt, refer to Disk Status Messages on page
59, "Chapter 3: Troubleshooting and Error Messages."
6) Click the Rebuild button.
DiskWarrior will begin building the replacement directory on the disk to be rebuilt. It
will first analyze the disk. This analysis can take anywhere from several seconds to
several minutes or longer, depending on the number of files on the disk.
7) Read the DiskWarrior Report.
When DiskWarrior is finished, it will display a dialog informing you of the results of the
rebuild. This will include any files and folders that may have been affected by directory
damage. You should pay particular attention to these files and folders while inspecting
the Preview disk in the next step. For further information on what DiskWarrior reports,
refer to What to Look for in the DiskWarrior Report on page 35 in this chapter. If you
have used another utility to “repair” your disk before running DiskWarrior, refer to
What to Do If You Used Another Utility First on page 29 in this chapter.
8) Test the replacement directory.
At this point, the original directory information on your disk has not been replaced, and
it will not be until you click “Replace” in step 10) Click “Replace” to use the
replacement directory, or “Cancel” to leave the directory untouched. The
DiskWarrior Report gives you an option to preview how your disk will appear after the
original directory is replaced. If you are working with a disk that was originally
mounted and appeared on the desktop, clicking Preview will cause DiskWarrior to
present you with an icon for the disk in its original state and a separate icon for the
Preview disk. You can double click both icons and compare them. If the original disk
did not appear on the desktop, then only the Preview disk icon will be shown. If, for
instance, you are using DiskWarrior to recover lost files or folders, you can verify that
the replacement directory has these files. For further information, refer to What to
Look for During Preview on page 35 in this chapter.
