What Not to do.

[jenrou]

Well, I have just been busy as a bee, getting organized on my pc, and decided to backup everything. I have Norton's 360 suite, so I decided to use it to back up my stuff. (After all, it's constant messages tell me to!)
Unfortunately, I still had my EHD (F:\ drive) still hooked up, and not knowing any better, started the backup. Norton's decided I didn't need an E: drive-DVD/cd- and did away with the driver for it, and tried to back up to F. I hope I stopped it in time-haven't had the guts to look, yet.
I'll be calling my local pc shop (needed more memory anyhow). I don't think I received a Windows disk with my pc since it is all on the pc, anyhow I couldn't get the device manager to do anything-it just says the driver file is currupted.
Oh my....live and learn.
Can you imagine doing anything without a cd/dvd drive? It opens but isn't listed and the pc won't recognize it.
:shocked:

I HATE Norton! Every major computer problem I've ever had was caused or made worse by Norton!

I hope you get everything sorted. I'm sure you can!

Have the repair people take Norton off of your system! It's really hard to remove yourself cause it embeds itself in everything!

My DH had problems with McAffee, so we switched to Webroot Spy Sweeper with Antivirus. I LOVE it! Plus, it's much cheaper!

Good luck!

Hear, hear -- and I'm a Mac user! Once upon a time I bought Norton Utilities for Mac thinking it would be a good housekeeping tool. Only time I've ever had serious problems with a Mac (well, that I didn't cause all by myself anyway :o). I had a few Mac-using friends who wouldn't listen to me and -- same thing -- we all ended up reformating our HDs. :mad:
