[QUOTE="sputacus, post: 904278, member: 91848"] To rebuild a directory, you will need to run DW from a different drive than your target drive (in this case your "Macintosh HD"). You can do this one of two ways - 1. Boot your computer from the DW 4.2 DVD. Running your computer for the DW DVD will free up you Mac HD - you will then have all options available to you. NOTE: I've never booted from the DVD - I've read that it can take several minutes, so be patient (this is why I use the second method...) 2. Make a clone of you Mac HD (using "SuperDuper!" or "Carbon Copy Cloner") onto an external HD. Then boot your system from the external HD clone. From there you will be able to access DW as you would from your Mac HD and have all options available to service your Mac HD. This is how I use DW. Good luck!!! [/QUOTE]
