[QUOTE="nicholas, post: 31348"] captain stabbin, the problem you're having is because you're running norton systemworks right off your desktop. what you need to do is boot from the CD (load the cd in the tray, restart the computer, then hold the C key as you hear the chime) and THEN run disk doctr. However, therein lies another problem, as I recently tried to do just this. OS X 10.3.3 doesn't allow the latest systemworks to boot into the cd, due to some programming differences. so you have 2 options. 1) call symantec and ask them to send you the updated systemworks 3.0.1. It's free and they sent it to me within 3 days. 2) if you have a second mac NOT running OS X 10.3.3, you can connect the two via firewire, restart the mac you have the problem with and hold the T key when you hear the chime, effectively mounting that harddrive onto your second mac. Then you can use your second mac (no need to boot into any cd here) to run disk doctor on your sick computer. [/QUOTE]
