Read/Write Protecting Zip® Disks
IomegaWareTM software includes a special read/write protect feature that allows you to:
•Write Protect a disk through software instead of with a mechanical write protect switch.
•Write Protect a disk and assign a password that must be used to remove the write protect.
•Read Protect a disk so that it cannot be read from, or written to, unless the user enters the password you assign.
