<p>Alsoft Releases DiskWarrior 3.0 for Mac OS X Native Directory Rebuilding</p>
<p>Houston, TX -- May 7, 2003 -- Alsoft, Inc. today introduced DiskWarrior<br />
3.0, an upgrade to its award-winning utility that adds several new major<br />
features including native Mac OS X directory rebuilding for Mac OS X<br />
Extended disks, as well as disks running under earlier versions of the Mac<br />
OS. Also new to this version are significant speed improvements, support<br />
for journaling, and a component that uses a drive's built-in S.M.A.R.T.<br />
technology to monitor drive hardware, giving users the opportunity to back<br />
up data when hardware is in danger of failing.</p>
<p>This new version retains its ability to compare the existing directory with<br />
the rebuilt one, showing users which files and folders have been affected<br />
by directory damage before any changes have been made to their disks. In<br />
addition, DiskWarrior can generate a graph for users to visually determine<br />
the state of fragmentation of their directory. Directory fragmentation can<br />
cause decreased disk performance.</p>
<p>DiskWarrior was designed from the ground up with a totally different<br />
approach to resolving directory damage. It provides Mac OS users the only<br />
method to resolve all existing damage to their HFS (Mac OS Standard) and<br />
HFS Plus (Mac OS Extended) disk directories, including those of Mac OS X<br />
Extended disks. DiskWarrior also speeds up overall disk performance due to<br />
its directory optimization.</p>
<p>DiskWarrior is a revolutionary utility that combats disk damage. It quickly<br />
rebuilds, recovers, and optimizes HFS and HFS Plus disk directories,<br />
eliminating all directory errors and recovering lost files. Other utilities<br />
attempt to repair disks by patching the damage. Patching can result in more<br />
damage and permanent loss of files. DiskWarrior's patent-pending method of<br />
rebuilding a new replacement directory repairs every possible error with a<br />
directory, something that no other disk utility can claim.</p>
<p>DiskWarrior's ability to rebuild a directory and recover lost files and<br />
folders is unrivaled. Only DiskWarrior completely rebuilds a user's<br />
directory based upon the data it finds in the old directory and verifies<br />
the rebuilt directory to ensure that it is error free. And only DiskWarrior<br />
has a patent-pending technology that allows users to preview their disks as<br />
they will appear after the directory is repaired but before any changes are<br />
made to the disk. With DiskWarrior, there is never a risk of losing<br />
directory data and thus never a risk of losing access to a user's files.</p>
<p>Price and Availability</p>
<p>Alsoft is taking orders for DiskWarrior 3.0 and the updated DiskWarrior<br />
CD-ROM online at Alsoft's web site (<a href="http://www.Alsoft.com" title="www.Alsoft.com">www.Alsoft.com</a>) or direct from Alsoft<br />
at 800-257-6381 or 281-353-4090. Retail price for DiskWarrior is $79.95<br />
USD. Site licensing and volume purchase discounts are available. Upgrades<br />
from earlier versions of DiskWarrior are $39.95 and can be purchased<br />
directly from Alsoft.</p>
<p>System Requirements</p>
<p>DiskWarrior supports any Mac OS Standard (HFS) or Mac OS Extended (HFS<br />
Plus) disk. To start up and run from the DiskWarrior CD requires a G3-based<br />
or higher Mac OS computer with at least 128 MB RAM. For customers who have<br />
older PowerPC-based Macs that are not capable of running Mac OS X, the<br />
DiskWarrior CD will start up an earlier version of the Mac OS, allowing<br />
these customers to run DiskWarrior version 2.1, also included on the<br />
DiskWarrior CD. To install the DiskWarrior application, you must have a Mac<br />
OS computer running Mac OS X 10.2.1 or later. DiskWarrior supports SCSI,<br />
IDE, FireWire, and USB devices and is compatible with any storage medium<br />
formatted as a Macintosh disk.</p>
