DW and Norton do comepletely different things. DW does volume wrappers and such to do with the Hard Disk and Norton repairs files. Where people run into trouble with Norton is when they install it's numerous applications and features on the Drive. I never install Norton or DW; I boot them from the CD. Both Norton and DW are needed for drive and file maintinence.
