To enable hard disk drive lock

Hard disk drive lock helps you keep your information secure.
When you enable hard disk drive lock, the current user password (or
C A U T I O N
administrator password if that is the only password set) is encoded on
the hard disk drive.
If you move the hard disk drive to another OmniBook, you cannot
access the drive until you set the user (or administrator) password to
match the drive's password. After you match the drive's password, you
can change the OmniBook (and drive) password.
If you forget the password, you cannot recover your data.

4. From the Security menu, enable Hard Disk Drive Lock.
