Disk Compression Utilities, Norton AntiVirus | Norton Abrasives 8

Norton AntiVirus

Because Norton AntiVirus (NAV) interprets changes to partition tables and boot records as potential virus attacks, PartitionMagic takes steps so that NAV automatically reinoculates. Should NAV give you the choice of repairing the changes, do not select Repair. Instead, inoculate after using PartitionMagic.

Norton SystemWorks

You can use PartitionMagic on a system where Norton SystemWorks is installed. However, you must run PartitionMagic from the rescue disks. If you attempt to run PartitionMagic under Windows with Norton SystemWorks installed, you may receive a disk-write error.

Disk Compression Utilities

You can safely use PartitionMagic and some disk compression utilities together. The following information will help you avoid any problems.

WARNING! Do not merge compressed partitions. You will lose the host partition.

DriveSpace and DriveSpace 3

To use PartitionMagic with DriveSpace, you must first change the size of a DriveSpace or DriveSpace 3 drive in Windows 95 or Windows 98 by completing the following:

1On the Windows desktop, double-click My Computer.

2Right-click the drive you want to change, then click Properties on the menu.

3Click the Compression tab.

4From the Compression menu, click Advanced.

5From the Advanced Properties menu, click Run DriveSpace.

A list of your physical drives, compressed drives, and host drives appears.

6Select the compressed volume you want to change.

7Click Drive at the top of the menu.

8From the Drive menu, click Adjust Free Space.

The Adjust Free Space menu appears. At the bottom of the menu is a slide bar.
