I've run it a couple of times, mostly out of curiosity. But it's practically useless, and in some cases in earlier OS versions it insisted on changing permissions I didn't want changed.

I suppose you're right about that. SignatureNote: Please send all responses to the relevant news group. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter.

Which only nails home my point about DW. _If_ someone wants to do it, it's readily available without DW anyway.

Arrgh! You pirates have all the damn luck!! But all seriousness aside: I have encountered _numerous_ problems from bad permissions. Most typical: I install an app or an update, be it from Apple or another software author, then something doesn't work, up to and including the entire computer, _until_ I repair permissions. I will say that I have noticed this problem less with the recent OS versions, but that may be because I _always_ repair perms before _and_ after any update. (Some claim sacrificing a goat first helps the computer find the correct perms list.) What boggles my mind is that very often Apple's own system updates leave the system with incorrectly set permissions, iTunes and ColorSync being notable offenders. How can apple let an updater out of the house with that sort of bug.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I booted from the 4.1 download. From the Alsoft DiskWarrior support page: If you want or need to run DiskWarrior 4 version 4.1 from Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier, there are two features of DiskWarrior that are not available for a Mac OS X 10.5 startup disk. First, you cannot repair the permissions of a Mac OS X 10.5 startup disk. Second, you cannot rebuild a FileVault that was created under Mac OS X 10.5. You will be able to rebuild a FileVault that was created on a startup disk that was later upgraded to Mac OS X 10.5. NB: Your DiskWarrior CD may start up in Mac OS X 10.4 and would therefore have these features disabled for a Mac OS X 10.5 startup disk.

That's not possible. The download is just an application, not an operating system. It's not bootable. What you probably mean is you used the download to create a bootable CD containing Diskwarrior 4.1. But the new CD has the same operating system on it as the original Diskwarrior 4.0 CD (namely, Tiger). That explains why you couldn't repair permissions on a Leopard volume. The whole point of the download was to get a version of Diskwarrior that is capable of running under Leopard and can be fully functional when repairing Leopard volumes. That means you need to have Diskwarrior 4.1 installed on a bootable Leopard volume other than the one you are repairing.

Last time I made A CD from diskwarrior I ended up purchasing an upgrade from them . Just purchased a CD upgrade from them for 4.1 US $ 60 Bill SignatureGarden in shade zone 5 S Jersey USA >>> In article >>> <b2forewagner-5DBCAF.10030318032008@sn-indi.vsrv-sjc.supernews.net>, [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] > > I booted from the 4.1 download. When you bourned the update CD, did you remember to enter your personalization informations and reg. number? - including your personal user code? I forgot to enter my personal user admin code the first time, and luckily I put the blank CD in the wrong burner, so I was warned that there was something wrong and started all over again... No problems to repair permissions on any bootable HD either booted from the DW CD or DW run from the HD... Cheers, Erik Richard Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rgds.
