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 48, "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
50, "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 and folders on the disk.
7) Read the DiskWarrior Report.
When DiskWarrior is finished, it will display a window 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 29
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 36 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, 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 30 in this chapter.
