Hi Fred,
The system folder is there. But when I select it I'm told that Disk
Warrior can't rebuild it because it is the system in use. I just thought
I should be able to boot into Disk Warrior directly upon start up so I
could select any system and rebuild it.
Yes, I can boot from an OS CD.
Using CMD+OPT+shift+Delete brings up the standard window that asks
what system I want to rebuild but that seems to be leaving Disk Warrior
out of the picture.
Thanks
Wilton
