Before You Install
 
First make a backup
 
DiskWarrior is not copy protected, so the Finder can be used to create a backup of the 
DiskWarrior package that you received.
 
Be sure to register your purchase
 
If you received DiskWarrior electronically, then you have already registered your 
purchase with us. If you received DiskWarrior on a CD-ROM, then you should perform 
the following steps:
 
Note: 
 
Your DiskWarrior serial number is required for proper registration of your purchase 
so that you may receive Technical Support, updates, and future product special offers.
 
If You Received DiskWarrior Electronically
 
It is recommended that you put the folder containing the DiskWarrior application and the other 
files on another hard disk, a floppy disk, or a third-party removable media disk so that you have 
a copy of DiskWarrior available even if you cannot access your startup disk. You can also put this 
folder on a RAM disk; refer to 
 
 
Record the serial number you received in the e-mail that confirmed your purchase of DiskWar-
rior. You will need this serial number the first time you run DiskWarrior.
 
If You Received DiskWarrior on a CD-ROM
 
DiskWarrior can be run directly from the DiskWarrior CD, and your Mac OS computer can be 
started from this CD-ROM. This will allow you to rebuild the directories on any HFS or HFS Plus 
disks that DiskWarrior can rebuild as described in this chapter, including your normal startup 
disk.
