[Ti] Disk Warrior 3.0.3

[Milton van der Veen]

I had the same problem. The 3.0.3 updater made a new bootable CD that 
wouldn't boot my newly acquired Albook. However, Alsoft tells you you 
can drag the new version of Disk Warrior to your hard drive and then 
use it. This is what I did.

Then I used Boot CD <http://www.charlessoft.com/> to make a new 
bootable CD on my Albook. Boot CD allows you to add applications while 
you are making a Bootable CD ... I selected the new version of Disk 
Warrior and thus got a Disk Warrior CD with the latest version of OS X 
Panther. (By the way, there is no Boot CD for Tiger yet.)

It takes about 15 minutes for the new CD to boot your laptop, but it 
does load eventually and then you can use Disk Warrior. (Tip: I used 
Disk Warrior to fix the ".iso" file that Boot CD had made and then 
burned a second CD that loads a couple of minutes faster.)

HTH,

Milton
