View Full Version : After Installing Spybot, NAV reports "unable to read boot records"

On a Win98SE machine, after installing Spybot and running its Immunize feature, Norton Antivirus no longer can access the Master Boot Records on each physical drive and the boot sectors on logical drives: it reports, "Unable to read boot record on drive " {#0, #1, C:, D:, ...} "Check to make sure that the drive is ready." It's as if Spybot is blocking NAV's access to the boot records.

If I go into NAV's options and uncheck "Master Boot Records" and "Boot Sectors" so that it won't scan them, I can get NAV to run on the files of the disks again, but I'd like to be able to scan the boot sectors.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your help.
