Possibly the BIOS has a setting (as some newer BIOS's do) that is intended to block
certain kinds of writes to the MBR as a species of virus protection...it's usually
under "Advanced BIOS Features" in the CMOS settings; that might be conflicting with
the MBR changes that your Norton is trying to make, as well. I would check and see
if my BIOS has that option and, if so, turn it off.
