During install of Norton Internet security & Anti virus. I get the blue screen of death and error msg: "Error writing to disk c:. Some data or files may be lost. Press any key to continue" After pressing key, install appears to go normally until restart. Norton Security Asst pops up and upon cancelling, I get following error: "Problem with system file...VxD dynamic link call...SymNDIS + 000036B0 to "0028, service 8029...press Y or N..." Then PC hangs and requires hard reboot. This repeats itself even if I complete NIS configuration.
BTW...I can't access internet with affected machine.
