Hmmmm...
I've used PCA for years, on Win 98, NT workstations, on NT 4.0/sp4-sp6
servers, and on Win2k (where it is not recommended) servers with no problems
whatsoever. I am up to PCA 9.2.
I use it almost everyday. It's my primary means of managing a couple of
co-located servers and keeping my grandparents computer up to snuff! <g>

This happened to me too! With Version 9.2. After installing it, I could not
boot my NT 4.0 sp6a server without a blue screen of death reporting a
Inaccessible boot device if I recall correctly.
I had recently installed the same software on 3 of our other servers with
the same configuration without any problems. Luckily the problems occurred
on one of our dev servers. It was a pain to fix. It seemed to do damage to
the master boot record.
What did symantec say was the problem?
