I finished the 250 GB hard drive installation by using two partitions
of 130GB and 120 GB.
With my original C: hd still in place, and the new 250 GB hd as drive
D:, I typed the following command, in a "DOS" window:
xcopy32 C:\*.* D:\ /h/k/s/r/e/c
When it was finished, I shut windows down, removed the old drive,
re-jumpered the new one as master, stuck it in as the main drive, put
my original 120 GB D: hd back in as D:, and restarted the system. I
stored away my original 20 GB C: drive.
All seemed well, and I rebooted the computer several times with no
problems. The final configuration was C: (labeled "Dr2_vol1". D: is my
original 120 GB drive D:. E: was labeled "Dr2_vol2".
About 6 hours ago all seemed well, so I selected several folders that
contain mp3 files and did a Copy and Paste from drive D: onto drive E:
(which is the second of two partitions on the new 250 GB hd). The
copying seemed to begin OK, so I went to sleep. I awoke 5 hours later
to find the screen dark and no disking happening. The computer was
frozen up. Crtl-Alt-Del had no effect, so I powered down. Upon
powering back up again an error message appeared:

I pressed the space bar to continue, and it finished booted to the
desktop. Some of the program icons on the desktop had changed. A
couple of error messages immediately appeared, one saying:

I tried clicking on the Symantec Technical Support Knowledge Base link
but nothing happened.
I closed that window and another Symantec CCApp window appeared,
saying:

Also, another window opened saying:
