Description
IMPORTANT:
Restoring a previously saved MBR after a disk utility or operating system has
modified the MBR, may cause the data on the disk to become inaccessible. Only restore a previously
saved MBR if you are confident that the current bootable disk's MBR has been corrupted or infected
with a virus.
●
Save/Restore GPT of System Hard Drive
Enabling this feature saves the GUID Partition Table (GPT) of the system hard drive. If the GPT is
subsequently changed, the user is prompted to choose whether to restore GPT.
●
DriveLock
Allows you to assign or modify a master or user password for hard drives. When this feature is
enabled, the user is prompted to provide one of the DriveLock passwords during POST. If neither is
successfully entered, the hard drive remains inaccessible until one of the passwords is successfully
provided during a subsequent cold-boot sequence.
NOTE:
This selection appears only when at least one drive that supports the DriveLock feature is
attached to the system.
IMPORTANT:
Be aware that these settings take place immediately. You do not have to save.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to document the DriveLock password. If you lose a DriveLock password, the
drive is permanently locked.
After you select a drive, the following options are available:
Set DriveLock Master Password. Sets the drive's master password but does not enable DriveLock.
Enable DriveLock. Sets the drive's user password and enables DriveLock.
●
Secure Erase
Lets you select a hard drive to completely erase.
After a hard drive is erased with a program that uses Secure Erase firmware commands, no file
recovery program, partition recovery program, or other data recovery method can extract data from
the drive.
