I'll never buy Symantec again.
Drive Image, another great program has been destroyed.
I bought the upgrade to it last year, Ghost 10 & it hasn't successfully restored a single image in XP.
Never again.
Luckily, Vista Ultimate has image backup built in which works great.

Mike is right.

I advise all my clients to avoid all Symantec products, it is a dying company living on the reputation of the original founder, peter Norton, who knew what hew was doing. They don't .

totally uninstall everything NORTON, they have an uninstaller on their web site.
not compatible with vista.

use avast instead for virus program.

norton has had 5 years to make their programs compatible with vista and now all they want to do is complain that microsoft has locked them out.

Running XP Home SP2; Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor indicated that Norton
System Work and Norton AntiVirus 2006 are not compatible with Vista and to
remove them. Symantec website indicated that the Norton AntiVirus 2007 is OK
for Vista so:
1) Removed System Work
2) Removed Antivurus 2006
3) Installed Antivirus 2007
All operations were executed successfully.
Now when Windows starts most times, but not always, I get the following
error message "Windows - No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please
insert a disk into drive." [Cancel - Try Again - Continue]
After clicking the "Continue" button 3/4 times the message disappears and
Windows continues working without any apparent problems.

I have previously done 2 others similar upgrades to other office PCs with no
problems; what can possibly have happened and how can I resolve this issue
permanently.
