16 Chapter 1: Introduction

Basic Terms You Need To Know

Driver

This is the software that translates requests from the Mac OS into the commands that

the disk hardware itself understands. It is usually supplied by the vendor of the disk

drive mechanism. In the case of the internal disk that was supplied with your

Macintosh, Apple provides the driver.

Eligible Disk

To be eligible to be rebuilt by DiskWarrior, a disk must have been formatted as a Mac

OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS Plus) disk. In addition, an eligible disk

must be locally attached to a computer on which DiskWarrior is running, and it must

not be write protected. The disk must have a valid partition map and disk driver. Also,

an eligible disk cannot be a disk that is shared (see deﬁnition below) between Classic

and Mac OS X.

Note:

A copy of DiskWarrior running on your computer will not rebuild any disk that you

must access via a network. These disks are only eligible to another copy of DiskWarrior

running on the computer to which they are locally connected.

File

A ﬁle is a collection of information stored on a disk. Files can be system ﬁles,

application ﬁles or document ﬁles.

File Server

A ﬁle server is an application designed to allow many users to share common ﬁles via

a network. Examples of AppleTalk network ﬁle server applications are AppleShare and

File Share.

Free Space

The free space encompasses all the unused allocation blocks on a disk. As free space,

these blocks are available to be allocated to ﬁles or to the directory. Once a ﬁle is

deleted, the blocks previously occupied by the ﬁle will be returned to the free space.

Mac OS X System Disk

A disk that contains the ﬁles and information necessary to run Mac OS X.

Partition

Many disks come with management utilities which allow you to divide a disk into

additional disks called partitions. There is also independent system software, such as

MultiDisk™ from Alsoft, which allows you to partition a disk.
