There are however, plenty of free packages available on the web to do this re-partitioning job, but please dont do it unless you have a FULL backup and know what you are doing, ok? I'm giving you the answer to your question, but not recommending you go ahead and solve it. If what I have said does not make much sense to you, my advice is forget the problem - you are not in any form of trouble by not being able to run NDD (well I hope you are not, and if you are, the built-in Windows scandisk will do as good a job). That is you need a partition manager capable of re-sizing your C: drive (partition) to make room for another partition (say drive E: ) upon which you then re-create your windows swap-file. To achieve this without certain software is not possible. Most 'expert' users recommend having a separate partition on which there is nothing but the windows swapfile (pagefile.sys in XP). You need to NOT have a windows page file on the drive C: when that is an NTFS volume Saxidani - your problem is described on the Norton site, but I'm afraid the solution is a little complicated. Has anyone ever encountered such a problem before? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Not to mention the computer is slower than death. I have Norton Utilities, AntiVirus and Internet Security on the computer, all are completely updated, however Disk Doctor is the only portion of the program that will not work. Unfortunately I still cannot solve the Norton Disk Doctor issue. Spybot kept showing 5 DSO Exploit files and after looking through this forum I found the link to the DSO Exploit removal patch for Spybot which solved that problem. Both found tons of stuff hidden on my computer. I donwloaded Spybot search and destroy, and Ad Aware SE. I ran Nortin Anti-virus, and found nothing. I thought it may be a virus, spyware, adware etc on my computer. On re-boot the Disk Doctor still does not work and I get the same error message. Norton Disk Doctor can still diagnose this drive if 'fix errors' is unchecked. A repair can be scheduled to occur the next time you restart the system. Norton Disk Doctor cannot continue with a repair under these conditions. " The Operating System, or another process, currently has exclusive access to this drive, or some of it's files. Norton Speed Disk is a powerful and speedy disk. Every version of Windows (even Windows 2000 or Windows XP) comes in standard with a very slow defragmenter tool that is really painful to use. Recentlly when I went to run Norton Disk Doctor to diagnose my C Drive it is giving me this error: Norton Disk Doctor 2002 (click to enlarge) Norton Speed Disk: This tool is the reason why millions of users have purchased Norton Utilities worldwide. I have Windows XP for an operating system.
