Maybe, maybe not. I certainly wouldn't sleep soundly, anyway.

If anything can, it can. It will certainly repair things that Disk First
Aid tells you about in blood-curdling terms, but won't fix- in fact that's
why I got Norton. It's deeply, deeply wonderful.

But the first thing you should do with Norton, while everything is still
working okay, is make a startup floppy. It tells you how. If the damage is
more than trivial, it will want you to use that for repairs.

Good luck.
