- Release Notes for Norton Utilities 2002
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Thank you for purchasing Norton Utilities 2002 for Windows
- 98/Millennium/NT/2000/XP Home Edition and Professional.
-
- Please review this document before you install Norton Utilities
- 2002 or call technical support, as it contains information not
- contained in the User's Guide and the online help.
-
- This version of Norton Utilities does not support Windows 95.
- In addition neither Windows NT, Windows 2000 nor Windows XP
- server editions, are supported by this release.
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- GENERAL INFORMATION
- ===================
-
- UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS VERSION OF WINDOWS TO WINDOWS XP
- ----------------------------------------------------------
- If you have upgraded your operating system to Windows XP and your
- previous operating system had Norton Utilities 2001 or below
- installed, you must uninstall and then reinstall Norton
- Utilities.
-
- Previous versions of Norton Utilities are not compatible with
- Windows XP.
-
- Norton Utilities does not support operating systems that are
- upgraded from Windows 98/Me to Windows NT/2000/XP without
- having uninstalled Norton Utilities prior to the operating
- system upgrade.
-
-
- 64 KB CLUSTERS ON FAT16 FILE SYSTEMS
- ------------------------------------
- 64 KB clusters are not supported on FAT16 file systems by any of
- the DOS utilities.
-
-
- NORTON DISK DOCTOR PARTITION REBUILDING
- ---------------------------------------
- The Norton Disk Doctor partition rebuilding feature (available by
- running the
- NDD /REBUILD command from DOS) should be used only as a last
- resort. Every attempt is made to rebuild the Master Boot Record
- (MBR) entries correctly, but any number of factors could cause
- errant partitions to be recovered or created.
-
-
- "DRIVE NOT CONFIGURED" ERROR
- ----------------------------
- If Speed Disk or Norton Disk Doctor report that your hard drive
- is not configured, launch the program from the Start > Run...
- dialog box in the following manner:
- For Speed Disk:
- SD32 /NOLBA
- For Norton Disk Doctor:
- NDD32 /NOLBA
- This issue will only arise on Windows 98 or Windows
- Millennium systems.
-
-
- USING NORTON DISK DOCTOR OR SPEED DISK WITH GOBACK
- --------------------------------------------------
- GoBack will track all file moves that are made by Speed Disk as
- it optimizes your drive(s). Since there is only a limited amount
- of recording performed by GoBack it will start to over-write
- older entries in its change log before Speed Disk completes. This
- will invalidate the history that GoBack has accumulated. It is
- recommended that you flush the GoBack history after running
- Speed Disk and take a new snapshot of the system so GoBack has
- a current image of the drive(s).
-
-
- NORTON DISK DOCTOR AND NON-STANDARD SECTOR SIZES
- ------------------------------------------------
- Norton Disk Doctor does not support drives with non-standard
- sector sizes (ie drives with sector sizes larger than 512 bytes)
- when performing its partition table checks.
-
- This includes certain magneto-optical drives. If a drive has a
- sector size larger than 512 bytes NDD will post an erroneous
- warning about CMOS settings. This warning is incorrect and can
- be dismissed. Norton Disk Doctor will run correctly from this
- point on.
-
-
- EMERGENCY DISKS
- ---------------
- It is strongly recommended that emergency disks be created and
- tested after installing Norton Utilities. This will enable you
- to verify that the disks will be usable in the event that they
- are required to fix any problems that may occur in the future.
-
-
- WINDOWS XP-SPECIFIC ISSUES
- ==========================
- Please be aware that switching users, without logging out, and
- repairing problems in one WinDoctor session may result in an
- error or the appearance of nothing taking place if the original
- user was running WinDoctor and attempts to repair the same
- (now fixed) error. A warning will also appear from UnErase
- Wizard if you attempt to recover a file that has already been
- recovered in another session.
