I wish I would have read this yesterday before using Norton SD on my 20MB
disk. Fortunately I took "Norton's" advice and backed up my disk before
running SD. About 30 files in one directory disappeared; strangely enough
some were gone right after running SD and even more were gone after
rebooting. 

   "USE Norton's SD with extreme caution!!"
