I tried to boot from the USB and that didn’t work. The president of the company is “Al Dion”, which likely explains the meaning of “Alsoft”. Apparently, Alsoft (the creators of DiskWarrior) is headquartered in Texas. Normally, I’d use Norton Disk Doctor for this kind of thing, but that software was discontinued. I remember this app from my early days of working with Macs. One app in particular was mentioned frequently – DiskWarrior. Commercial software was often listed as a solution. Naturally, I searched the Internet for possible solutions. That’s when you start to realize how important computers are in modern life… family photos, emails, work stuff. But unfortunately, that was one of the disks with trouble. Normally, I’d just restore the files from a Time Machine backup. I even tried using some Terminal commands to restore the data. It seemed that the files were there, but I couldn’t simply copy the files to the disk. Apparently, there was severe damage to the file system. I don’t remember exactly what the report said, but I think it might have been the “File System Check Exit Code 8” error. I used Disk Utility, but it just couldn’t fix the trouble. With three dead drives this year, I decided to call in a clincher – DiskWarrior. Macs “just work”, so it can be unsettling when they stop working. Perhaps I’ve been overestimating the durability of Mac hardware and software. Yet, I suppose that is to be expected with older computers. I’ve been encountering a strange number of disk problems lately.
