Hi - I have another dinosaur buddy running OS 10.1 on an iMac. Guess I shouldn't rush over there with all my disks because he should use the ones that came with the iMac, right? He has disappearing files and I'm thinking it's directory corruption. (Or inability to use Sherlock) I have an older version of Diskwarrior and my brand new one. Should I try either of these on his machine or is that asking for trouble? Maybe I should tell him to get some copies of what came with his computer, eh? (Can't find) I need to be patient, it's not so long ago that I didn't maintain my machines very well, either.
