This section allows you to configure your system for basic operation. You have the

shadowing and security.
Virus Warning
When enabled, you receive a warning message if a program (specifically, a virus) attempts
to write to the boot sector or the partition table of the hard disk drive. You should then run
an anti-virus program. Keep in mind that this feature protects only the boot sector, not the
entire hard drive.
NOTE: Many disk diagnostic programs that access the boot sector table can trigger the
virus warning message. If you plan to run such a program, we recommend that you first
disable the virus warning.
