Hard Disk Lock
When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the hard disk when
the hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set for the hard disk. When the
hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read and write data as before. In this case, however,
make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the same as they were before the hard disk was removed.
(Note that this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee complete protection of data.) (
