I don't think the problem is with Norton's. What version of DOS are you using? We had that same thing happen on a different IBM machine running MS-DOS (not IBM DOS) 4.01, and the same thing happened. This wasn't a PS/2, but an XT 286. We don't even have any Norton products on this machine. (Mainly because it only has a HD 5 1/4" drive.) I believe there is a problem with DOS that affects certain machines. We also have a 386/20 with Norton 6.0 on it that has not had any problems, other than the drive motor failing. -Anthony Prattico pratta@rpi.edu
