Avoid RAID like the plague if at all possible. For photo work there is
absolutely no reason for it. It just complicates the system, which is
the antithesis of backup. Instead, use that second drive to alternate
monthly backups, always keeping alternate backups off site.

What do you think Norton is doing for you? Norton is notoriously quirky.
The first thing I would do is get rid of Norton and all vestiges of it.
Then restart, and reinstall Appleworks.
Then let us know if there is still a problem.

My brother is having a problem with his Appleworks program. He
