Hi,

I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RX450, about 5 years old, running Windows ME.

I had Norton Systemworks 2003 on it, but have uninstalled it trying to take
care of this problem.

When in Norton Utilities (Disk Doctor), I haven't been able to run Disk
Doctor successfully for well over a year -- for the C Drive (It worked fine
on D Drive -- 40gb HD partitioned to two 20's).  I'd get an error in NDDENG
something or other.  I also couldn't run ScanDisk for C Drive (but this
program also ran fine diagnosing D Drive).  The Scandisk problem occurred
before the NDD problem.  For a few months, I was able to sub the Norton
Utility for the Windows one.

I looked for Microsoft backup disks and can't find any.  I have four Sony
CDs -- two for system recovery, one for driver recovery and one for
application recovery.  I can't find any instructions for extracting
scandskw.exe or dskmaint.dll from these disks.

If you can help me figure this out, I would appreciate it.

By the way, after having uninstalled Norton Systemworks, I tried to run Disk
Doctor right from the CD, and I got the same error as I got running it from
the installed Systemworks (which used to work just fine).  I had figured that
something in the installed program had gotten corrupted, maybe during a
Norton "Live Update" to the program, but the original CD-ROM returns the same
error.

Thank you!
