Ok. Thanks. I was not able to copy anything with SuperDuper because of the error. So, I copied the Home folder to the external. That will have all of her data, including the desktop, right? And how will I put that data back once the computer is fixed, and most likely, there is a fresh install of the OS?

Also, I did a hardware diagnostic with the disk that came with the computer, both the quick and extended test, and they both said that the HD passed.

I did read somewhere that if a USB mouse is attached to the computer, then certain software will not work. I think it was the Apple Hardware Diagnostic that said that. Not sure. Could that also be the cause of the error with DiskWarrior?

The OS was corrupt. Did a fresh install and now it runs beautifully and fast.

You shouldn't have any problems with USB mice. Some people say to disconnect a Firewire hard drive when installing or upgrading the operating system.

Glad you fixed your problem.
