Norton Disk Doctor v7 sees NO disk volumes

I just bought Norton Systemworks 2.0 for Mac, running on my 10.2.4 system.

Booting off the Norton disk (running OS 9) I was able to check all the disks.

Trying to run the installed version (in 10.2.4), Disk doctor comes up but show NO DISKS!

I guess this is a privilege / file protection issue, as I normally log in my account, which is admin account, but I do get prompted for admin account and passwd when installing things).

So it seems that Norton expects to be run by a root or already priv'd user? What's the best way to deal wth this? I guess I could figure out some way to sudo it from terminal, e.g.

# sudo /Volumes/OS X/Applications/Norton Systemworks

or something like that? what a pain...

Any ideas on what is going on here or how to cope with it?

thanks

mark

FORGET Norton's from now on. It ruined my System ever since I used OS X. Symantec refuses to make a good OSX compatible software, so I switched to Drive 10 v. 1.1.4. It's better, has WAY better and more accurate defragmenting (albeit more time consuming) but my drives have never been in better shape.

Use Drive 10!

Did you run live update and update Norton Utilities? I doubt it is a permissions problem. I've been running it since it was updated to work with OS X and had no problems with it.
