Just waiting and waiting. Still new folks get 4.1 Leopard compatible. Macintouch touched on this a while back and I was wondering if anyone had a clue now.

You _can_ use ver. 4.0 along with Leopard. but you also must boot from the CD and not run it from the harddisk, if you fx. have more disks to test/repair. I have done this on my QuickSilver dual 1,8ghz running 10.5.2. It works, wehn booted from the Cd, bt not if I run it from the 10.5 bootdisk. cheers, Erik Richard Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rgds. Grüße, Mvh.

I bought the 4.0 disk (plus every single previous version) thinking it was for Leopard. But I've never been able to use it. If 4.1 is available on CD, I cannot think of a good reason why that notice has been on the Alsoft website for many weeks now but they have not posted the downloadable update. Can you? I had a lot of problems caused by the Apple software updates that immediately preceded the 10.5.2 release and Disk Utility really choked trying to fix them. I need DW to rebuild my directory now--- before I can install 10.5.2. This has certainly taught me a lesson to never install a new OS unless I have a working copy of DW in my hands first. > > Kind of strange that 4.1 is out as a new purchase.

Also kind of inconvenient that they will only mail you the upgrade CD from v3 to v4. They will not allow it to be downloaded. Site says it can take up to 30 days. I am (impatiently) awaiting my copy. Anyone know the business reason why they will sell it new via download, but not the upgrade? SignatureNever believe anything until it's officially denied. > Kind of strange that 4.1 is out as a new purchase.

When available, this free updater will allow you to create a new startup CD containing the updated DiskWarrior application. I have been given no information other than what is posted. For reference, you can use the current DiskWarrior 4.0 with Mac OS X 10.5.x (Leopard). You are not stuck without using DiskWarrior until version 4.1 is in your hands. You can read more information about this at the aforementioned webpage. -- Marc ----------------------------------------------- SignatureWaddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor > > Kind of strange that 4.1 is out as a new purchase.

I believe the correct statement is that you can use the current version of DW on a Leopard filesystem _if_ you are running from Tiger, Use of DW 4.0 while _running_ Leopard is not recommended.

And if you continue to read the support page you'll find: What you can expect when running DiskWarrior 4 version 4.0 under Mac OS X 10.5 and rebuilding a Leopard disk. While not recommended (and discouraged), if you do run DiskWarrior ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ version 4.0 while started from Mac OS X 10.5 you might encounter some problems such as: 1) You cannot rebuild FileVaults or disk images. 2) In step 9 (comparing directories) of a rebuild, the progress bar might get to 100% even though the comparison step is not finished and will continue to execute. 3) When performing Check All Files and Folders the progress bar might get to 100% even though the check is not finished and will continue to execute. 4) After rebuilding a disk, DiskWarrior may report that some files or folders have had their permissions changed. This is inaccurate and the permissions have not been changed. To repeat, an updated version of DiskWarrior that has complete Leopard compatibility will be released soon as a free download for existing owners of DiskWarrior 4 version 4.0.

I paid for my upgrade disc 4.1, less than an unregistered user would pay for it new. I was in a hurry, because 4.0 stalled in repairing. I have never known of a free, downloadable upgrade. I suppose if they are now promising one, they owe it to those who are patiently waiting. I expect a radical upgrade for OS 10.5.

Regarding AV3's note about his serial. this simply means that he has bouht the three last versions as upgrades to the first one. Alsoft sold these versions until now on CD. - Diskwarrior 1.0. Downloadable update to ver. 1.0.1 - DiskWarrior 2.0, Downloadable updates to 2.0.1 and 2.0.3. - DiskWarrior 2.1, Downloadable updates to ver. 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 - Diskwarrior 3.0/3.0.1. Downloadable update to 3.0.3. No other downloadable updates. The only differences between the 3.0 and 3.0.1 is the extension for Os 9.2 is a newer one in 3.0.1. The 3.0.3 contains the same Os 9.2 extension as the full ver. 3.0.1 - Diskwarrior 4.0. No downloadable updates so far. Bootsystem on ver. 4.0 changed from 10.3.5 to 10.4.3, so it can boot on IntelMacs. I have all CDs right here... There is only _1_ free update to ver. 3. That one is to be used either for the diskwarrior 3.0 or 3.0.1. The update is a ver. 3.0.3 and fixes some problems in 3.0/3.0.1 that could prevent a 'Replace' of the rebuilt filesystem on OS X 10.4.3 and higher. And from notes that i got from Alsoft, a new downloadable ver. of DW 4.0 will be available in the same way... cheers, Erik Richard Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rgds.

Currently only the 3.0.3 update is available for download, as there would be no purpose in updating to an earlier 3.0.x version, but the 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 updates were available for download when they were the latest available.
