Unable to Recover files from DiskWarrior

Just a followup: I forgot to mention that holding down the "c" key to boot form CD did not work. The startup tone had static. I have never heard this sound before. A static filled startup tone. That is why I bootted to an external drive and ran DiskWarrior from it.

Thanks Thomas for your advice. I did have a conversation with Alsoft and thier support instructed me that if DW could not make a rebuild then to proceed in the preview pane to copy out the folders/files form the drive. Technically it is not recovering but you are able to copy out from teh damaged drive to an alternative storage location. I do practise backups but this computer was my wife's and I did not get a change to grab the new items she added.

The chime is wierd as I only experienced it when holding the "c" key to boot from CD. Every oner time it is normal.

Progress. As I mentioned previously DiskWarrior does allow you to use its preview pane to copy out files if was not able to do a rebuild. The problem I was having was a permissions one. Instead of running DW from a booted external drive I booted from the CD. I did not use "c" but used the selective boot. Once DW finished the preview pane did not have the permission issue this time. So, on one side I selected the location on my external drive that I want to copy out the files. The other side was pointing to the folders DW recovered. Currently, i am dragging one home folder at a time. The DW support told me not to grab the entire home folder at once. I hope once it is all completed I can run migration assistant on teh new MacBook Pro and point it to the coped home directory on my external. I am going to communicate to the Alsoft support and confirm the results here for the community. Thanks for the input.

Update: I was able to copy out every user file I needed from the DW preview pane from to my external drive. The reason Alsoft said not to copy out large folders rather one at a time is because it is more prone to curruption. Once I was done I connected my external to the MacBook Pro and started moving files to thier appropiate location. Migration Assistant is not the answer at this point. Finally, I will work on configuring Time Machine next!
