Chapter 2: Using DiskWarrior
Rebuilding Your Startup Disk
Rebuilding Your Startup Disk Using a CD Drive and a Network
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 but you
do have access to a Mac network, you can start up from the Mac OS system CD and rebuild your
internal disk by following these steps.

Consult the documentation that came with your computer to determine what you need
to do to start from the Mac OS system 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.
