Re: [G] I broke OS-X!

Bill, I had decided to go buy a copy of TechTool 4, to see if it would repair the drive that apparently got corrupted with OS-X broke on me, but then I ran across a bunch of reviews of TT4 that make it sound like a real stinker, not anything like v.3. A lot of people who have had bad experiences with it are warning against using it. Take a look: http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=4307

And Micromat is asking almost $100 for it? Wow. I think not, at least until they iron out all the bugs those people are complaining about. Sounds like TT is going the way of Norton, causing as many problems as it fixes. Too bad, after v. 3 was so good.

Guess I'll stick with Disk Warrior and Disk Utility for the time being. And I'll just wipe this bad drive and reformat it, probably the best thing to do anyway.

Regards,

Tom

And they're asking

IMO- DWv3.02 and TTPv4 are the cat's meow and more than likely
just about all the aftermarket Utils., you'll ever need/want.

Thanks Bill. I've got DW 3.0.2 (and I've had it for a long time, so if
it's still the latest version I'm surprised), but my TechTool is 3.0.3
and it doesn't work with X, so I guess I'd better go get the latest
version of it. Time sure flies; you just get the latest thing and
suddenly, it seems, it's already way out of date. Like everything in
the world of computers I guess.

Yup, with OSX TTPv3 just won't cut the cake, but Yea, time sure
does fly when yer busy havin' fun, and missin' all those lil' bitty
updater steps up to TTPv3.09, too. So, while there orderin' yer
new TTPv4, you might as well download the v3.09 update, it
may come in handy on a bootable OS9.2.2 and <.
I've got'em classic(?) all from OS7.5.3, 7.6.1, 8.5. 8.6, 9.04. 9.1,
9.2.1, 9.2.2, and then OSx.2.8 and x.3. runnin', so am keepin' up
my various Utils., and yer right, DWv3.7 and TTPv4.03 are both
out now, TTP a neat albait honkin' big download, and DW CD a
buy, I think.

Respectful of GURUs
