Macintosh HD stalls Disk Warrior
I just used the procedure described at the bottom of page 38 of the User Guide for copying Sandbox to Macintosh HD. I carefully followed the instruction. I have used this procedure several times in the past with excellent results. Today, I used it again with no problem. Macintosh HD works normally when I boot from it. I ran Disk Warrior v4.1.1 from its startup DVD and did its maintenance routines on Sandbox with no problem. Then, I attempted to run DW on Macintosh HD and DW stalled early in step 5. I waited several minutes and canceled it due to no progress.
I've never had this trouble before. I went back and repeated the procedure on page 38 carefully making sure I didn't vary from the instructions. Still, there is a problem. I installed Security Update 2009-004 yesterday and 10.5.8 a few days ago. They've been working fine through a lot of use. This is the only problem. I'm posting here because it involves the Macintosh HD's relationship to the Sandbox. I did the Page 38 thing because I was getting ready to copy everything so I could change the partition size for Sandbox. It's getting a little tight and there's plenty of room for the Macintosh HD volume. Last edited by JoBoy; 08-13-2009 at 05:44 PM. |

I'm not sure what this has to do with Sandbox or SD, JoBoy: you were running from the DVD, right?

The reason I made a connection between SD! and the problem with DiskWarrior is that the problem first occurred right after the page 38 procedure was run. I've been using DiskWarrior for many years and this is the first time I've ever had a problem with it. After encountering the problem while using a bootable clone, I tried using the DW's DVD, but I got the same result. I thought that, if you'd had any complaints about SD! and 10.5.8 or Security Update 2009-004, my situation would make sense to you. Since it does not, I'll just have to watch MacFixit to see if anything else pops up. Thanks for your kind response. |

Yeah, I don't think this has anything to do with SD - might be a problem with DW, but not anything I've heard of previously.
