Ok so I got my hands on a copy of Diskwarrior.
I install it and crap but it says I can't fix the start-up disk and I need to boot into that CD. How do I do that?

I go to System Prefs. and Start-up disk but the DW CD isn't there.

Put the CD in the machine and restart, holding down the "C" key. That will force the computer to start from the CD. Then you can check on the health of your computer.

Was there a manual or do you mean a manual on the CD? All I got from Alsoft was the CD.

If you have the CD, boot from it and run the DW app.

This reminds me of another thread,

"Yes, download the second CD."
