OS I'm running DiskWarrior as I type. It's been running over an hour so far, and I'm up to overlapped files on step 6 out of 12 1 What are they, how do they happen, and how to prevent?
Don't know if DW can fix it this time or not--won't until DW finishes. Have updated of files several times since I started typing!!! DeltaMac Tech. Overlapped files are just what you might expect - two or more files attempting to occupy the same space, or 'overlapped' on the same space.
It's as bad as it might sound. It sounds like your original disk is so far gone that Disk Warrior is doing more harm than good.
Too late……ug. Tried the OS install and no drive showing. So sick, cause everything work related is not working. I am on hour 60 running DW rebuild, stuck in Step 5.
This is crazy! I am going to shutdown my computer and run TechTool Pro 6 on it instead. I never thought DW would take this long, even with all the files I have on my computer.
I know it is a good program…have had it for years, and update it when new versions come out. But I think the hanging and not knowing is probably the reason why I have aborted it in the past and gone to my TechTools. I so wish I had found this blog during my last 10 days of my Disk warrior episodes. Is this page still active?? Please let me know if you can help. I apologise in advance for the lengthy message it contains all my relevant information which may point to a solution.
My 10 day Dilemma: Last week Sunday today is wednesday whilst my Lacie 1 tb hardrive was on i was currently editing a video piece on my mac book pro Final cut version 7 as normal. My 1 tb drive had a bout gb free. I tried a variety of options turning on and off the computer and hardrive , changing power cables , fire wire cables.
I also checked the Lacie Hardrive on a Pc and it booted so this gave me a feeling that it at least could be repaired on Disk Utility on my Mac. I Followed a few online examples in which i changed the casing on my Lacie 1 tb with another identical 1 tb drive.
After changing casing on the drives the hardrive which previously was un readable was still unreadable by my mac book pro and the one that worked still was readable. Last week Monday i started Disk warrior 4. Even though I can not click on the disk warrior application it has the spinning beach ball , But the numbers of Disk Malfunctions are painfully slowly climbing. I have read on this site and on other forums some People using it online said it can take between.
The files are important and contain client files , the capture files of a project I was working on. Most of the finished files are backed up but there are files such as digitised footage for projects I was in the process of working on. I have no other way to retrieve those files as the only place they exist is on this drive. What would the damage be to my external drive if I were to cancel during step 5 of Disk Warrior?
As my External drive was previously bootable on a pc which I checked before starting disk warrior 10 days ago I am thinking to maybe cancel disk warrior try booting on the pc and connecting another drive to copy the files over. Do you think this would work? Has anybody ever been in a similar positions in which Step 5 has hanged for so long , with a similar amount of Disk Malfunctions I have and it actually turned out for Drive to be fixed , repaired and work smoothly afterwards?
Uh oh! Sorry to tell you, I think that drive is toast. IMO you are actually better off stopping DiskWarrior at this point rather than let it continue. Back ups, oh yes back ups. We moved. So, back ups, yes, but put them in a safe deposit box or on a cloud. I tried using Terminal. The drive, which when it was working had a specific name. I give my drives names from favorite songs or bands. Other info from DW: disk appears to be a Mac OS standard disk, disk does not appear on the desktop, disk is I am reading this thread and feeling my stomach turn..
I have been running DW for a week and a half and it is stuck on step 5… with many many many more Speed reduced by disk malfunctions than what some of you are reporting…. I was going to stick it out.. I was using Techtool Pro 6 to de-frag my mac HD when at some point the whole process hung..
Please back up all data and format etc etc…. Now on step step 6… Uh huh.. One of the dreaded steps.. Out of interest, and if it comes to it, does anyone know is Diskwarrior is any better at file recovery than say Diskdrill? What a crazy situation. What do you think, should I let it keep going?
Has anyone contacted DW about these long running situations? Been running for an hour and so far speed reduced by disk malfunction , Good thing i had backups, i just want to see how effective DW really is.
