FYI, i'm running DiskWarrior 4.4 on my MBP late 2011 with OS X 10.7.5 Lion.

So i created a DiskWarrior boot disk on a flash drive using this how-to guide. The boot disk works just fine as i can install DW from the boot disk in my Mac's regular start up mode, and use it to the point that DW's Directory tab allows me to Graph my local Macintosh HD, but not Rebuild it (as expected, since it has to be installed to the local drive and can't rebuild that drive while im using it to run DW).
So, i rebooted my Mac, holding down the Option key, into the boot menu mode. From there, i was able to select booting my DW boot disk instead of my local Macintosh HD. However, this time in DW, under the Directory tab, my Macintosh HD is not listed in the list menu of option disks to Graph and/or Rebuild -just the boot disk is included in the list.
What am i missing?
