You'll be asked if you want to save the changes. Save them.
14)     Quit from Norton Utilities and test your new disk by booting from it.

*You will have a System Enable file to copy only if your Macintosh requires
System 7.1. If you don't have an enabler on the Disk Tools disk that came
with your Macintosh, you don't need to worry about copying an enabler.
