i installed-for the first time-windows 2000(fat 32) plus norton system works. i am a pc-recyler-knowing how to install pcs. i deactivated autoprotection(antivirus)and cleansweep-monitoring. when i try speeddisk it says, there is no ntfs-partition pls run chkdsk /f. when trying this it says a program is running. i do not know which one. i ran norton one button checkup and then went to speedisk when the problems started. i can run it ignoring the messages, but i have the feeling that the program is interrupted before doing the complete work. maybe i err.

Which version of NSW are you using? I use W2000 Server (FAT32) at work with NSW 2k1. I never use Speed disk on it. The Windows defrag does a good enough job. I use VB scripts to automate it to run every night for me. If you want them, I can send them to you, and you can find them (I think) on other web sites).
On my XP system, I use NSW 2k2, but the Windows defrag in XP is much better that Speed Disk again.
If you are using NSW 2000 with W2000, forget it. You will encounter some compatabilityerrors. Using NSW 2k1, you should be all set. 2k2 you should be golden.
There is nothing wrong with your Windows, just with issues between Norton and Windows.
If this does not help, check out the web site www.symantec.com and go into Service/Support.

nsw2k1 is on my customers pc. win2k(fat32)not server. i do not have xp yet, nor w2k personally. i use winme and speedisk(nsw2k1) is working fine.
one week a go-although i use it regularly-was working endlessly but finally stopped. using in w2k it has a different look/maybe procedure.
