I didn't look at Norton, but I have the same and knew what the cause was. When I had Linux LILO it only came up on virus scans and then it wanted to repair it, but I only made the mistake of repairing it once. If you do repair it, you should be able to use the boot floppies and upgrade, just leave everything as it is, just reload the boot loader again.
