Otherwise, I would buy the latest DiskWarrior.
I was thinking that an old version of DiskWarrior would work fine for a bad disk block in the boot area if it is a hardware problem. It would likely write over or cover the bad block so that software cannot use that part of the disk. But if it is a software problem you need an OS X version of DiskWarrior. Likewise, an old version would not be able to deal with OS X file structures with its other diagnostic and repair features. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
