Hidden files, such as IO.SYS (which should be left alone and hidden), lost clusters, and the file used by 4DOS/NDOS (DESCRIPT.ION) for file descriptions all will be shown as unmovable. If you wish, you can use the ATTRIB command to remove the 'H' attribute. As for lost clusters, you should run the NDD program since you have the Norton Utils.
