Rebuilding Your Startup Disk Using the DiskWarrior CD
Your startup disk is the disk containing the current System Folder. Since the directory on the disk 
containing the current System Folder cannot be rebuilt, you need to start up from another disk 
to rebuild this disk directory. If you do not have another hard disk with a System Folder, you can 
start up from the DiskWarrior CD by following these steps.
1) Turn on your Mac OS computer.
2) Insert the DiskWarrior CD in your internal CD drive.
The DiskWarrior CD is bootable.
3) Select Restart from the Special menu to restart your Mac OS computer.
On most Mac OS computers, you need to hold down the “c” key to start from a CD. 
Consult the documentation that came with your computer to determine what you need 
to do to start from the DiskWarrior CD. If you cannot start from your normal startup 
disk and you see a blinking question mark on your screen when you turn on your 
computer, skip this step.
4) When the computer has completed starting up from the DiskWarrior CD, run 
the DiskWarrior application that is included on the DiskWarrior CD.
DiskWarrior is located in the root level of the DiskWarrior CD. It should be visible in 
the “DiskWarrior CD” window that appears when starting up is complete.
