Hi Everybody,

I have Norton Goback 4.0 installed on my only hard drive; which has XP pro
for a operating system.
As I'm interested in Linux, I was thinking of installing a 2nd hard drive
with a Linux version for a operating system. Now, I know that Norton Goback
4.0 cannot be installed on any hard drive that has a dual boot windows/Linux
OS system.

However, if I add a 2nd hard drive, that has only Linux , could that still
cause problems with Norton Goback?
I'm asking this question because I've never had a computer with a 2nd hard
drive. Would the two hard drives share any computer resources such as the MBR
, which could cause conflicts between Linux and Goback? Or would the two hard
drives be totally independent of each other ?
Your feed back will be appreciated !
 
I have Norton GoBack 4.02. I can't speak to Linux, but there are some
weird things GoBack does to a second NTFS hard drive. In installing
GoBack, I specified that the second hard drive not be controlled by
GoBack. Norton did this, but it also created a small gobackio.bin file
of 2,496KB on the second drive. If this file is deleted, the second
drive gets corrupted and lots of read errors result. -- Howard
