| Norton Utilities 7.03 problems w/Journaling Enabled in 10.2.2 |
| (from a reader email - regarding the Norton Utils 7.03 update noted last night)
"I updated Norton System Works 2.0 via LiveUpdate.
Norton Diskdoctor / Speed Disk / Unerase crash after the update if you enable the apple HFS+ Journaling!
Disable it and the Norton Utilities work!
Come on Symantec put more energy in your MAC products!
With Kind Regards
Andreas Goiczyk
"
Although not everyone had problems after the NU 7.03 update, I've seen two other problem reports but don't know if they had Journaling enabled. (Update - one of those two later noted he did have Journaling enabled - not sure on the other one.)

[If you post an updated entry - make sure you use the same name, etc. as you did before so I can find your past entry. Thanks.]
(Entries today will be added the following newsday. Incomplete entries are deleted. Do not post questions in the database, it's for drive reports not questions on what drive to buy - for that try searching the database for reports from owners of your mac model on the drive type/brand/interface, etc. you're interested in.)
