- You have probably one or more (large?) files which have the System
- and/or Hidden attribute set. I think that Norton's SD just plays it safe
- and assumes that files with these attributes *may* be unmovable, so it
- won't move them.
-
- Look at the attributes with one of the other Norton Utilities (I
- forgot the name. I mainly use PC Tools' PCSHELL for this.).
-
- Just wondering: Isn't this in the manual, which you of course have? :-)
