I never had that specific problem but I do reccomend alsoft disk warrior. It has fixed things that norton wouldnt. The cd also comes with alsofts de frag utillity which seems superior to norton speed disk. My HD probs have been minimal since adopting alsofts software.

thanks for the help.. i reloaded the system software on the system drive(last ditch effort) and i was able to mount the disk thereafter, however, norton is telling me that some files are sharing disk space with others and must be fixed. i was able to backup to cd rom most of the files(whew) i will try the disk warrior sw- who's got it? thanks again, edt
