My new PC does some wierd stuff. One is that when I come in in the am sometimes the HDD is running-stops-running-stops almost like one second on, one off, one on, etc. Then if I do something I may get a message "Hard drive may not be configured correctly, drive integrity scan cannot run" I don't know if that's Windows or Norton it doesn't say and leaves no clue as to what to do so I just close the message. Eventually the HDD will stop or I reboot and it stops. My PC also hangs when I try to do anything complex like edit a photograph embedded in a WP document or fax a document with photos in it, or print a b ig spreadsheet with lots of formulas and conditional formatting. Anybody have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

Try disabling norton.. so it does not scan your hdd.. every so often or when u try to do something
