How to install Norton SystemWorks from the hard drive

Solution:
To perform a hard drive installation:

1. Insert the Norton SystemWorks CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. If the installation screen appears, then cancel it.
3. Start Windows Explorer.
4. Click the View menu, and then click Options or Folder Options.
5. Click the View tab, and then click Show all files.
6. Create a temporary folder on the drive where you want to install NSW. Name thefolder NSWTemp.
7. If you have at least 230 MB of free space available, then you may copy the entire contents of the NSW CD to the NSWTemp folder. If you would rather copy only those files necessary for installing NSW, then see step 8. Otherwise skip to step 9.

by b_pope

NOTE: To copy all of the necessary files, you need at least 125 MB of free space. We recommended that you have at least 300 MB free to complete the installation.

8. Copy the appropriate folders to the NSWTemp folder.
For Norton SystemWorks 2002,copy all folders that start with the letter N, as well as the Drivers, Rescue, Support, Virusdef, and Fastsafe folders. If you want to install GoBack and/or ProcessViewer, then copy the GoBack and Process Vwr folders to the NSWTemp folder. If you have the Professional Edition, then you may also copy the Ghost and WinFax folders, if you want to install them.
For Norton SystemWorks 2001 version 4.0, copy all folders that start with the letter N, as well as the Drivers, Rescue, Support, Virusdef,Fastsafe, and Isp folders. If you have the Professional Edition, then you may also copy the Ghost and WinFax folders, if you want to install them.
For Norton SystemWorks 2000 version 3.0, copy all folders that start with the letter N, and the Drivers and Rescue folder.
For Norton SystemWorks 2.0, copy all folders that start with the letter N, and the Drivers folder.
For Norton SystemWorks 1.0, copy the Drivers folder and all folders that start with the word Norton.
9. Copy all of the files from the root folder of the Norton SystemWorks CD, except for the files named Sparse1.fil and Sparse2.fil, to the NSWTemp folder.

NOTE: Sparse1.fil and Sparse2.fil are not present on the NSW CD versions 3.0 and later.

10. After copying all of the files and folders appropriately, run the Setup.exe file that is located in the NSWTemp folder.

NOTE: In some cases, you may want to install NSW with Windows running in Safe mode. To start Windows in Safe mode, see the document How to restart Windows 9x or Windows Me in Safe Mode.

11. After the installation is complete, and after verifying that the installation was successful, delete the NSWTemp folder and all of its contents.
