Or for that matter any recommended repair disk that will boot on an SE/30...

Just any disk repair other than "disk first aid" that will boot an SE/30 from a floppy ?

What are you trying to accomplish?

A generic 7.0.1 disk can run Disk First Aid on it.

Beyond that, those old versions of Norton SHOULD work. Can you verify that you can boot from another floppy to make sure the drive isn't borked?

Yeah, I've got system boot floppies and they all work fine...Disk First Aid says "no repair necessary" but Norton (run from the internal hard drive) says the disk has "major problems". Something with an alias and b-tree whatever.

Probably not a big deal but it just got me wondering why these norton emergency disks are getting rejected.
