Using a Hard Disk Drive Password

Setting a hard disk drive password prevents an unauthorized user
from accessing your hard disk, even if it is removed and installed
on another computer. The password option is stored on the hard
disk, and requires a password to be entered before any data on the
disk can be accessed.
Setting a Hard Disk Drive Password
There are two types of passwords that can be assigned to your
hard disk drive, a User password and a Master password. The
User password is the first level of security that requires you to
enter your password each time you access the drive to start your
computer.
