mr mark, I tried the rescue boot disk again, powering down then up: same _ on a black screen. So I went to rescue disk creation and checked "full format" under "options", then made just the boot disk. It works and boots the PC, showing a rescue menu.

Norton screwed up by shipping the software with "quick format" as the default setting. At no time during rescue set creation is the user informed there is a choice. Maybe "quick format" works when UPDATING the rescue set?
I wonder how many users do NOT test their rescue boot disk and find out they can't boot after a real HD failure?

Thank you for your help.

Gottfried
