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 inserted in a dif ferent computer. 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.
It is possible to set the Hard Disk Lock even if [Password on boot] is set to [Disable], but we
recommend that [Password on boot] be set to [Enable] for security reasons.
(Note that this Hard Disk Lock does not guarantee complete protection of d ata.)
NOTE
In the default setting, [Hard Disk Lock] is set to [Disable].
You cannot set [Hard Disk Lock] without setting the Supervisor Password. Set the
Supervisor Password if you have not done so. (page 42)
