Howdy folks.
My son's WD 500gb external HD took a dump. I began using Diskwarrior 4.2 on Monday morning. It is still at 'step 5' 2 1/2 days later. The following message is displayed:
Speed reduced by disc malfunction: 11,494
I know the represents the errors it has found. The cursor still moves and that count increases every few minutes, so I know Diskwarrior is working.
The system log's latest entry is: Feb 10 14:26:10 (my name)-powerbook-g4-17 [0x0-0x46046].com.alsoft.diskwarrior[396]: DiskWarrior App: disk2s3: Read I/O error for block range 116706 to 116706
That count increases too. Shall I let Diskwarrior continue and for low long? Please advise if you've had experience with this app.
I am running os x 10.5.8
Thanks!
