Each time the workstation is turned on or restarted, the BIOS compares the MBR of the current bootable
disk to the previously saved MBR. If changes are detected and if the current bootable disk is the same
disk from which the MBR was previously saved, the following message is displayed:
1999 - Master Boot Record has changed.
Press any key to enter Setup to configure MBR Security.
Upon entering Computer Setup, you must perform one of the following tasks:
Save the MBR of the current bootable disk
Restore the previously saved MBR
Disable the MBR Security feature
You must know the setup password, if one exists.
If changes are detected and if the current bootable disk is not the same disk from which the MBR was
previously saved, the following message is displayed:
2000 - Master Boot Record Hard Drive has changed.
Press any key to enter Setup to configure MBR Security.
Upon entering Computer Setup, you must perform one of the following tasks:

displayed:

Press any key to enter Setup to configure MBR Security.
Upon entering Computer Setup, you must perform one of the following tasks:

Before You Partition or Format the Current Bootable Disk
Before you partition or format the current bootable disk, ensure that MBR Security is disabled before you
change partitioning or formatting of the current bootable disk. Some disk utilities, such as FDISK and
FORMAT, attempt to update the MBR. If MBR Security is enabled when you change partitioning or
formatting of the disk, you might receive error messages from the disk utility or a warning from MBR
Security the next time the workstation is turned on or restarted.
To disable MBR Security:
1 Turn on or restart the workstation. If you are in Windows, click Start>Shut Down>Restart the
Computer.
2 As soon as the workstation is turned on, press and hold the F10 key until you enter Computer Setup.
Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
