Norton System Works

When I try to run a norton system application like speed disk, scan disk... It tells me that Drive C: may not be configured correctly. Speed disk (or whatever operation I am trying) cannot run on this drive. I am running Windows ME.
What do I do?
Thanks

 

First off. Do you have the proper version of Norton System Works.

If the case be that you do not, it not advisable to try using it with ME.

I am running the Original Win98 and had problems with SpeedDisk.

When you upgrade Windows, all Norton products need to be also.

With and two choices of disk handling Utilities ( MS & Norton ) stick with MS.

The Utilities section of NSW is becomimg more and more useless with the newer version of Windows.

Over the years I have gotten away from NSW and gone with the individual packaged apps. They seem to be more reliable and seem to be less troublesome.

I have also almost quit entriely the use of Norton Utilities. Anti-Virus and Internet Security seem to be OK. But not Utilities.

Also if the default stuff that ME loads is loaded it will just fight with Norton and cause problems.

I was working with a system the other day that was giving the same error message. I looked in fdisk to see what the partition size was - found that the system was seeing the total drive as 8048MB, yet the drive had an 8056MB partition on it. Changing the CMOS settings for the hard drive from LBA to Large allowed the system to see the drive as an 8064MB, with an 8056MB partition.

Couldn't hurt to check out fdisk on your system. Be careful when making changes in the CMOS, write down any changes you make - that makes restoring them a lot easier.
