rMBR & Disk Warrior

[jazz1]

On a whim I decided to see what DW found out about the health of the file directory of my four day old laptop.

I booted the rMBR of the repair partition and ran DW via terminal. DW reported that I needed to have it rebuild the directory, after giving it a score of 7.

I was surprised that it needed a directory rebuild so soon. I have installed Office for Mac beta, Clean My Mac 3, and f.lux.

rMBR & Disk Warrior

What's a rMBR?

Sorry the new MacBook 2015 retina. Got the acronym wrong.

Interested in how you run DW via terminal.

Can't get the Macbook to boot form OS X usb drive or the DW usb drive.

Mine says 7 also.

You'll insert the DW flash drive and boot from the recovery partition (Command R on boot). From there, you'll go under the Utilities menu, and open terminal. Once in terminal, you'll type the following and hit return. This will launch DiskWarrior:

/Volumes/DW/go

Thanks. Worked great.

I've run DW on several of my friends Macbook Pro's and considering the've had them for years, they came up with the "yellow" 7 too.

Must of the issues that showed up on mine are related to onedrive.
