![]() ![]() A Directory Optimization Index with a red bar means your hard drive is NOT OK and you definitely need to run DiskWarriorĭiskWarrior 5.0 isn’t just a repair program for your hard drive. It’ll be one of three colours Red means it’s definitely time to run the software yellow means it’s probably a good time to run it and Green means everything is OK and you don’t need to run the software. It will show what Alsoft calls the “Directory Optimization Index” for each drive you select. You simply click on DiskWarrior to launch it, and then select a hard drive to analyze, optimize and repair. When you boot up your computer using the DiskWarrior USB drive, it appears in the OSX Utilities window. ![]() Article content DiskWarrior shows up in the OSX Utilities menu once you’ve booted from the USB drive ![]() This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The only thing you have to understand regardless of which way you run DiskWarrior from USB is that the USB drive must be directly connected to your computer – no hubs allowed. Having said that, if you have a Mac running OSX 10.6 and lower, you can boot directly off the USB drive to run DiskWarrior. I tried both routes out and although using Terminal mode works, it’s a LOT easier to create your own bootable USB drive, so I’d recommend doing that. I would never recommend overwriting the original, so just make sure any USB drive you have lying around is larger than 3GB and you can create your own custom bootable DiskWarrior recovery disk in just a few minutes. If you’ve got a Mac running on OSX 10.7 and later, it won’t boot directly off of the USB drive so you’ll either have to boot your computer up in Recovery Mode and run a Terminal session, or you’ll need to run the Recovery Maker App onboard the USB drive, Running the Recovery Maker creates a new bootable USB drive – which you’ll need to supply or else overwrite the original.
