Hands-On Report--DiskWarrior 3.0.2 CD Update

is out and available for download from Alsoft. What's new in DiskWarrior 3.0.2?

• The DiskWarrior 3.0.2 interface was updated to support translation to Japanese. A Japanese version is now available.
• DiskWarrior 3.0.2 is faster than DiskWarrior 3.0.1, which was much faster than DiskWarrior 3.0, which was many times faster than DiskWarrior 2.x.

Note that you need an original 3.0 or 3.0.1 CD to use this updater and that it produces a new CD so you need a CD burner and a blank CD as well.

We downloaded the updater and updated our DiskWarrior to v3.0.2, getting a new CD in the process. The new DiskWarrior 3.0.2 CD booted our PowerBook just fine. Then we optimized the directory on the hard disk drive in our 1-GHz 17" PowerBook G4 and on our external bootable FireWire hard disk drive. Both were about 30% scrambled and it took just a couple of minutes to complete the optimized directory for each drive. If you need a CD with Mac OS X 10.3.x on it to boot your Mac, call Alsoft.
