My Copy Of DiskWarrior 3.0 Has Arrived
Just came today. I immediately threw the CD into my PowerBook and booted off that to see what I could see. DiskWarrior found some minor damage and fixed it, but nothing too major (I had previously enabled journaling, and I always repair disk and permissions after installing system updates or major software).
I let it optimize and replace the directory. Things feel noticably smoother and more responsive now. I'm impressed!
I then restarted and dragged the application off the CD and into my /Applications/Utilities directory. Started that up, registered it, and set the preferences to do a hard disk diagnostic once a week. I'm just heading over to Alsoft's website now to register.
All in all, I must say the interface is very simple, which is fine by me. One thing I especially liked was that you can browse the previewed, repaired disk before deciding to replace the directory. You can see what will be recovered ahead of time, and if it seems hopeless you can copy stuff to another disk from within DiskWarrior's version of the Finder. Pretty nifty.

I can't run it from the disk as it is my startup disk, and i have no partitions. Should I copy it to a CD and startup with it ? Will this make the CD bootable or do I need something else to make this cd bootable?

If I was you...I'd download BootCD--> Linky
I would then create a bootable CD that included DiskWarrior on it. If you look at the comments on Versiontracker one guy did just that and it worked for him.
Or...you could contact Alsoft and see if you could get a DiskWarrior CD instead of the DL'd one. Thats the main reason I got it...so I had a CD in hand. I used DiskCopy to make a backup and it boots fine off this duplicate.
From the website :
NOTE: DiskWarrior CDs may have a delivery time of two/three weeks. If you ordered DiskWarrior, your CD will ship as soon as possible but your electronic product will download immediately.
