[QUOTE="immdb, post: 44433, member: 1238"] When you got the error message during the Norton boot process, do you think that it was it trying to mount your hard drive? Yes, if you initialize before installing it will clean the drive of any operating system file damage (ie., directory). If you have hard drive problems then you need to use a program like Drive 10 to identify the problems. If there are problems, Drive 10 may be able to fix them. At worst, you will have to replace the drive. Next to the worst is having to reformat the drive, which can take hours depending on the size of the drive. [/QUOTE]
