• Norman nuances?

    I recently changed from Norman 4.7 to 5.2.6, I guess it is. I'm discovering, I
    guess some of the nuances of that change.

    Never seen before until just today, suddenly every drive but the last one in this box is 'locked by a process' and can't be CHDKSK'd with the write-to option. Now I'm used to that for the boot drive, and also understand that's a result of using your SWAPPER.DAT on another drive too, such as "D". But,now why are E, F blocked, yet, for some crazy reason, G, isn't? No netowrk is up, just a clean basic boot run.

    Seems to make no sense.

    Not being able to write that to a partition is really not what I want,unless I boot to a command prompt from utility disks or something..

    Suggestions or comments?
