Installing Diskwarrior on a bootable USB?
My friend's Intel iMac has been playing up recently and after verifying the disk was informed of an invalid sibling link.
Now the iMac won't boot up - just the spinning gear and was advised to get a copy of Diskwarrior.
My local Apple stores don't stock the software,
Micro Anvika is now nonexistent
and Amazon estimated a 4-week delivery time.
I've downloaded a copy of Alsoft's disk warrior from their website on the understanding that I could boot up the iMac from a USB flash drive (which i've also just bought 16gb Sandisk).
Instructions online are varied and many talk about partitioning the flash drive three times to load up the three partitions on the Diskwarrior disk (I don't have three partitions or the disk, just the one disk image, which I've 'restored' onto the flash drive, now when I plug in my flash drive, Disk Warrior the image appears.
But I can't boot up this mac and I'm not sure what to do.
