This seems pretty ominous, given the purpose of the software...but when I tried to open Diskwarrior for the first time after loadng it, I get the error message: Diskwarrior encountered an unexpected error (2000, 256. What the _ does that mean?
I'm runnning OS X on a Mac Pro desktop...
Thanks in advance.

Is it version 4? Were you running from an admin account?

[Chris Breen]

Assuming it is Version 4, did you boot from the Disk Warrior disc?

[macnuke]

is version 4 making it out the door yet? (shipping)
I was under the impression they were swamped and delays were a month or more for many people.

it is version 3.0.3, which is what I was roped into buying at Chumpusa. I'm booting from the desktop, which from what I gleaned from the rather poor instructions is what I'm supposed to do.
Still doesn't work, same error message.

[Chris Breen]

And there's your problem. You need Disk Warrior 4 for your Mac Pro (and any Intel Mac). I'd return the version you have and order the latest.

[dougster]

-Hi,
As -Chris pointed out: [DW v4 required for Intel-based Macs]

[IgnatzH]

Thanks for this basic but obviously essential information.
I've passed this on, with due vehemence, to the vendor and will hopefully be seeing the correct version within a few weeks.

[Chris Breen]

By "vendor" I hope you mean CompUSA. Alsoft hasn't made a secret of Disk Warrior 3's incompatibility with Intel Macs and so don't deserve your wrath.

[IgnatzH]

Yes, sorry, I suppose the correct term is "resaler"...although I can think of a few more.

[macnuke]

thanks Doug.
guess I shall buy one now.
after all, I still consider it the best DU even tho i don't have an intel yet.
it's got some sweet new features that even this old G4/5 will enjoy.

[dougster]

Welcome -nuke,
Yeah, seems they have played catchup pretty well with v4/Universal and I'm anxious to test drive the new features as well. I like the security blanket it offers over other HD/OS utilities.. /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Mark! It's almost like you don't read my stuff. I've had it for a while. (Works great.)
