To create an emergency disk :
1. Insert the norton antivirus 2002 CD in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to the following folder:

D:\Support\Edisk\

NOTE: If the CD-ROM drive has a letter other than D, then substitute the appropriate drive letter.

4. Double-click the Ned_2001.exe file to start the Norton Emergency Disk program, and then click OK.
5. Label a blank floppy disk as indicated in the dialog box, and then insert it in the floppy disk drive.
6. Click Yes. The Norton Emergency Disk program copies the necessary files to the floppy disk.
7. Remove the disk when the program prompts for the next one, and repeat steps 5 and 6 until you have created all the disks. When all the disks have been created, a confirmation message appears.
8. Remove the last disk, and then click OK.
9. Write-protect all disks by moving the slide on the write-protection notch so that the notch is open.
10. To test or use the Emergency Disk set, insert Disk 1 in the floppy disk drive and restart the computer.
