  The Norton utilities don't appear to like the changes made to the BOOT
  BLOCKS when you install System 7.0.  There is a program called
  BootBlock Writer which can be used to re-install a set of 6.0.x boot
  blocks.  I have used this successfully to 'undo' an install of 7.0b4.
  Norton works fine with that drive now.
