I may be wrong, but I recall seeing on their site a few days ago that the physical CDs are back-ordered. You may have to wait a while. > > Am I correct to say that I understand that I need DW on a disk to run it > properly? I am afraid to run it without a hard (CD/Floppy) copy. Yes. DW in it's currently available version itself needs to be the startup volume in order to work properly. It can't repair anything on it's own volume. In absence of DW on separate media (burn your own CD, Zip disk, external HD or floppy startup volume), one other option would be to have DW on a separate partition and select that as the startup volume in order to repair and maintain the other partition/volume(s). Unfortunately, if you aren't already partitioned on your HD, there's no way of making additional partitions without first initializing your HD. > HTH, dave -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
