Using a hard disk drive password

Windows allows you to register a user password that can be
assigned to the hard disk drive. Setting a hard disk drive password
prevents an unauthorized user from accessing your hard disk, even
if it is removed and installed in another computer. This password
option is stored on the hard disk.
CAUTION: Choose a hard disk password you can remember
easily. If you set a hard disk password and later forget the
password or lose your password diskette, YOU WILL NEVER
BE ABLE TO ACCESS YOUR HARD DISK AGAIN.
Toshiba is not responsible for any data loss, lack of use,
inability to access the hard disk drive, or any other loss to
you or any other person or organization that results from an
inaccessible hard disk drive.
