Doing some preventive maintenance on non-dead computers while I still have a borrowed copy of DiskWarrior. The computer being rebuilt is my MacBook Pro; the one running the app is the Mac mini connected to the TV, which had its own disk directory rebuilt earlier today.

“It was necessary to scavenge.”
Well, that about wraps it up for this hard drive. I’m getting what files I can off the preview, but this is not the sort of news I like to see.

It has been a bad couple weeks for computers around here.  The computer this drive belongs in (a Mac mini) started behaving very oddly, and all my usual repair tricks failed while the drive was still in the computer itself. I’ve now disassembled that computer, and this is the message I get when I attach the drive to my MacBook Pro.
I can’t find my copy of DiskWarrior, so I borrowed one from a friend. We’ll see if it can make head or tail of the problem.
