Good or Bad
« on: February 03, 2003, 06:37:00 PM »
Hi, just ran DiskWarrior and got this message, The Boot Blocks are damaged and will be repaired after replacing the directory.

What does it mean,? And is it really fixed, Thanks

The Boot Blocks are areas on the drive that contain information about where startup information is stored. You can read the full explanation  here.

Disk Warrior will replace the directory and make repairs to the needed areas. Look over the report DW will offer you and you can read the problems it finds. Compare the new directory to the old and if OK (it almost always is fine) tell it to go ahead and replace. It should repair the Boot Blocks as well.
