#DISKWARRIOR 5 ON USB UPDATE#
To start the computer using the Disk Warrior flash drive, I would have to update the drive in the same way as I had installed the system on the rescue flash drive earlier, using Disk Warrior Recovery Maker. The Mac restarted correctly in the current, Yosemite after a brief delay. After the restart, although an Apple logo appeared (small and grey not like the usual white on a black screen) there was no further progress (not even a gear-wheel) and I resorted to the power button after a few minutes. As the Disk Warrior flash drive was shown - albeit with a 10.6.7 installation - I selected that ( not recommended). I quit the process, then quit OS X Utilities and was offered the option to select a disk from the Startup Disk panel. When that was accepted, the gearwheel began to spin and in less than a minute I was able to run this copy of Disk Warrior from the interface.Īs I had repaired the disk using a copy I had installed on a rescue flash drive, there was nothing amiss and the identical process took only a few minutes. This was inside the box and on the invoice.
#DISKWARRIOR 5 ON USB SERIAL#
I was asked to personalise the copy of Disk Warrior which needed my name and the serial number. The DiskWarrior panel appeared, along with the license agreement. At the command line I entered,Īnd pressed the Enter (Return) key.
Instead of accessing these, I used the Utilities menu at the top of the screen and started Terminal. The progress bar moves slowly, then the menu panel with the four rescue options appears. It takes a while for the Apple icon to appear. The Disk Warrior flash drive was already in the USB drive, so I restarted the Mac while holding down the Command + R keys as I detailed a short while ago in an item on Startup keys. Fortunately, Alsoft provide a brief guide on paper for the process and I read through it one more time before beginning. However, for the update of the flash drive I would be starting in the Recovery partition and these texts would not be available.
#DISKWARRIOR 5 ON USB MANUALS#
The various manuals that come with the DiskWarrior install disk are fairly comprehensive. The final update required a little more care as I would need to start in the Mac's Rescue partition and make changes to the Disk Warrior flash drive, starting the process in Terminal.
I had already updated the Applications folder on the Mac and on an external drive with OS X installed, followed by making a rescue disk on a USB flash drive. While putting Diskwarrior onto a Mac is quite easy, the other installation options require a little more work. There are options for installing on other media and the original flash drive cannot run on the latest Macs. Installing the software on the Mac is straightforward as is putting it on an external disk with OS X installed.
