  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? :-)
