Hi all,
I am trying to bring back to life (or rather save some data for starters) a 13" white MacBook (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 1GB RAM, 120 GB HDD). It stopped booting and the Apple Disk Utility couldn't fix it. So I ran latest Disk Warrior on it. It ran for about an hour, found bunch of problems including with the media, but in the end seemed to have rebuild the directory and suggested that I previewed it. I managed to get down to the Applications folder in the Preview window but then it got hung. I've been watching a rainbow wheel rotating for probably 20 min now... I can still move the mouse and switch between the windows, but the thing is just not going anywhere... I shouldn't have opened Applications at all, should have gone to Users right away, but who knew it would be so bad... Does anyone have any suggestions? At least how do I gracefully quit the Disk Warrior now? I am not a Mac person, so don't really know any of the shortcuts.
Thanks
