Go to the Alsoft web site and log a fault report. I did this and they got
back to me pretty quickly. I had a similar problem but booting from an
external FW DVD drive. My problem was that the DW CD probably didn't have
drivers for my DVD player (LaCie) and yours might be similar although I
would have thought DW would have drivers for all Apple internal drives.
If you have another Mac (sounds like you do) and a FW cable, start the iBook
up in target disk mode (hold down the T key while booting until the FW
symbol appears on the screen) and plug into the other Mac. Then install DW
on the other Mac and check the iBook disk from there. Worked a treat for
me.

Subject: iBook won't start from DiskWarrior CD
Dear WAMUG'ers,
I have been trying to start my daughter's 14 iBook from DiskWarrior CD
without any luck. I did the usual start with the 'C' key pressed, the CD
drive would run briefly resulting in the apple graphics, then the machine
would hang.
The laptop is running OS X 10.3.6, and I have tried to boot from DW 3.0.1,
3.0.2 3.0.3 all with the same result - the apple graphic would come, then
after a brief moment the CD reader would stop and the machine hangs.
The iBook would happily boot-up from the Apple install DVD without problems.
I've run the usual Daily, Weekly, Monthly maintenance scripts (CRON), repair
permissions, and also run Disk Utility, after booting from the Install DVD.
The problem seems to be elsewhere.
Any idea what else I can do?
By the way, I can boot my G5 from these CDs without any problem.
Many thanks,
Philippe
