Norton unable to access drive on bootup?

[SFang]

I had this problem with both my AMD Athlon, and Pentium III computers, so I guess it is a software issue.

What happened was, I installed WinXP, Norton Sysworks 2002 on both computers. After that, I made both C drives sharing across the home network, later I changed my mind, reset C drive to not sharing mode. Now, the problem arises, both computers will have a dialog poping up during WinXP booting "Norton Warning! Unable to access drive C:". Click ok will make the dialog disappear, but whenever I run Norton Disk doctor, it tell me the same message. Also, it is really annoying to see it with every booting.

Help, please. 😱

Why don't you try uninstalling and reinstalling Norton? I've done that and to my knowledge, it's not a lot of work and I can't think of any real downside. You'll have to run Liveupdate, but that's no big deal.

Also, what Norton SW components are you running automatically? I just run NAV and have everything else set to run manually. As I understand it, setting up Norton SW from the getgo any other way is real risky. At least that's the case in Win2000 and I doubt it's gotten better.
