#Diskwarrior 5 booting from disk install#
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. Single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in
TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.įor emergency repairs install the freeware utilityĪpplejack. I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection softwareĬlamXAV. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X.

OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such asĪnacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.

What you might also do is some maintenance: Of course neither Disk Warrior nor Disk Utility will make your computer run any faster unless the drive is corrupted. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Or you could use Disk Utility to repair your drive:īoot from your OS X Installer disc. You could also use a USB flash drive if it's 8 GB or larger. If you have an external drive you can use, then install OS X on it, put the DW application on the drive, then boot from the external drive.
