Using the Tools application

The Tools application is located in the Iomega Tools folder on the CD-ROM disc that came with your computer. You can use it to erase Zip disks, set read/write protection options for Zip disks, and set other options.

The read/write protection features in the Tools application let you do the following:

mWrite-protect a Zip disk to prevent anyone from overwriting critical data. When a disk is write-protected, no one can write files to the disk.

mWrite-protect a Zip disk and assign a password that must be used to remove the write protect.

mRead-protect a Zip disk so that it cannot be read from, or written to, unless the user enters the password you assign. (Use this option when you want to protect sensitive information.)

For complete information about the Tools application, refer to the online help and online manuals in the Iomega Tools folder.

IMPORTANT Do not forget your password, particularly for a read-protected disk. If you forget a password for a read-protected disk, the data on the disk cannot be recovered, even by Apple or Iomega.
