Symantec Corporation is committed to product quality and satisfied customers. This issue is currently being considered by Symantec Corporation to be addressed in a forthcoming version or Maintenance Pack of the product. Please be sure to refer back to this document periodically as any changes to the status of the issue will be reflected here.
The following is a known temporary workaround for the issue until the version/maintenance pack is released: Use a primary partition as first partition. This is an example partition table: DISKPART> select disk 0 Disk 0 is now the selected disk. DISKPART> list partition Partition ### Type Size Offset ------------- ---------------- ------- ------- Partition 1 Primary 100 MB 1024 KB Partition 2 Primary 39 GB 101 MB

This problem occurs if the disk was partitioned with an Extended Partition as first partition. The partition table can be examined with the Windows program "diskpart"
