Ally - he means you should boot your puter from another drive - or - from
the original norton cd.  Put the cd in, and restart holding down the c key
on your keyboard.  You use the same procedure with disk warrior or any other
program that needs to do major changes to the hard drive to fix it.  I have
access to other drives, but a fix-it cd is always easy to carry in the
laptop bag.  I have a very old version of dw but following directions from
Todd back in september, I made a bootable 9.2.2 disk with disk warrior on
it.  Boots up the iBook and the flat iMac no problem.

I usually partition my hd's, but didn't want to take the time to redo my
mom's when I upgraded her to jaguar.  I just read about a program that
allows you to resize partitions without wiping everything clean and starting
anew.  Can't remember the name - it was on macsurfer last Friday.
