[G4] Re: Disk First Aid, Diskwarrior Compatibility with OS 10.2.8

[Al Poulin]

Hello Anne:

I cannot say much about DiskWarrior except it is the best for what it 
does from all I read.  I have the old version for OS 9, and the box is 
still wrapped in plastic.

Your Disk First Aid, original with your QuickSilver, sounds like the OS 
9 version.  In OS X, First Aid is part of Disk Utility.  Open Disk 
Utility and find the First Aid tab or button, depending on how Jaguar 
does it.

If "bootable" is the difference, for the update price, I would go for 
it.  You would end up with v3.0.3.  I do not see info on a 3.1 or 3.3.

Avoid Norton like the plague, actually there is no suitable version for 
OS X.  After updating DiskWarrior, it is adviseable to have TechTool 
Pro as well because it does many different things that DW does not.

Best of Luck,
