Moving the Hard Disk Drive

When a password protected HDD is moved from its original system and installed in another system, error messages appear indicating that the drive is locked. Next, the Security Setup screen appears requiring the user to enter the master password to unlock the drive. Highlight the HDD password line and enter the master password, when prompted.

If you wish to move an HDD from one system to another, follow steps 1 through 6 in the section, “Establishing Hard Disk Drive Passwords,” before installing the HDD in a different system. Install the HDD in the desired system then follow step 7 to establish HDD protection.

To take advantage of HDD password protection in another system, the system must be equipped with the same HDD password protection feature. To determine if the system has HDD password, check the System Security Setup in the BIOS setup to see if there are provisions for establishing HDD passwords.
