Hi, Does norton antivirus scan the registry on an external usb hard drive. For example, I boot to partition 1, then I try to scan partition 2 which also has an OS installed.

Anyone know?

Norton can only make changes to the registry of the OS that you booted from. It will not access the registry on partition 2 unless you boot from that partition, and of course Norton needs to be active when you boot from that partition as well.
