And will norton work normally??

Probably.
It could depend on which version of Windows you have, and the spec of the PC.
Windows should detect new hardware when you boot for the first time and load the correct drivers.
It may not work perfectly, straight off. It depends on what you're trying to achieve.
A complete backup would be prudent, before you do anything.

IF the hardware is IDENTICAL it might work, otherwise the driver set will be wrong and it may work with errors, or not at all. Safe mode may work and allow a scan, but normal operation needs several Norton drivers loading and probably won't. Also Windows activation may fail.
If this is a virus problem you could add the problem drive as a slave (ie. non-boot) in a good system and do a scan from there

In most cases, the answer to this is no. Sounds like you are trying to perform a virus scan on someone else's computer. If this is so, you might want to download and burn a "linux live cd" that runs when you pop it in the other computer and boot up.

Yes, but unless the computer has the exact same hardware Windows won't be happy about it as it won't have the correct drivers.
