Norton 360 backup drive disappears

[ratePV]

I just installed Norton 360 trial and setup a backup on my second partion(D)
of my WD 640 GB.

But when i access the Norton Backup Drive through My computer the window disappears and the drive vanishes!

So am i doing something wrong or should i try Norton Internet Security?

NIS doesn't have backup functionality.

But what do you mean by "the Norton backup Drive"?
Does it make a separate partition, like Acronis Secure Zone or something?

I did say Norton 360.

It has one

It makes a separate folder in My Computer with a link to backup's from all drives.

I'll post screenshot later, im currently re-installing it

I was referring to your question in the other thread, where you asked if it would be better to switch to NIS.

I think it should work the way you set it up, but I can't really give you any help because I never used 360.

But I'm sure others will be able to help you. (I hope)

Good luck.

It seems i'm not alone:
Norton Backup Drive keeps disappearing from Windows Explorer (Win7 Ultimate) - Norton 360 - Norton Community

Seems to be a bug, but that's good because then there's nothing wrong with your setup, and a fix will be made soon. (i hope)

Good luck

Is it caused by Norton 360? I m trying the Norton 360 beta 4 and seems to work flawless.

I uninstalled the drivers for the card reader so Windows could re-detect them.

The card reader is fine now but the backup drive is still disappearing randomly...

Hmmm, maybe i'll try Norton 360 4 beta...how many days is it valid?

Its in beta so you get 14 days. If the beta continues and your key expires, just re-register.

If you registered, they will send u a new serial to the email u used when registering, to renew the 14 days.
