[Hidden-tech] iMac

[Lynne Rudié]

I've had very good luck with Disk Warrior. It's not expensive and  
their tech support is good if you have a question.

I run D.W. several times a year, usually when I finish a big project  
and am doing clean-ups and back-ups anyway. (It takes a long time to  
load so don't worry about that.) D.W. will make a graph of the drive  
you want to examine and if it gives a reading of more than 2% I run  
the program. I've always been careful to do my backups first, but it's  
never been a problem. Once it deleted a file that was too corrupt to  
fix, but I had a backup of that file and once the rest of the drive  
was cleaned up I could open the back up copy of the corrupt file and  
restore it.

Good luck.
