When you opened it up, did you make sure that the SATA cable and power plug are installed properly? If the SATA cable is plugged in properly and the button to open the tray works (it has power), then it should be working properly. A generic driver should be fine, and Windows can update automatically if you want.

It's a sign of RAM failure. Replace your RAM.

NIS08 has a specific system requirement. has your system passed this?

in regards to everyones posts,

your issue is a fail installation and thus requires you get get rid of all the temp files in your %temp%,temp,prefetch folders.

to do this.

start>run>%temp%>delete everything here...
start>run>temp> delete all
start>run>prefetch
somethings there are actives files(currently being used by other programs), so just restart your computer to delete this later.

when done doing this, you have a higher chance to have a successful installation.

everything is in the norton site including the removal tool for failed installations.

if for failed updates... download the intelligent updater.

if you have other questions.. post them here..

You can go to "updates" in your "apple icon" top left hand of the screen. It will check for updates for you. Install all updates. If you havent done this ever or in a while, it is going to take some time to update everything. If that still doesnt work for you, Download firefox, it is a much better web browser than safari.
