This option protects the Hard Disk from accidental operations that could irremediably erase
one or more files.

you can change the ON/OFF status of the protection option using the DIAL.
When ON, the Hard Disk is protected and no SAVE, DELETE or FORMAT operations can
be performed.
When OFF, the Hard Disk is no longer protected, allowing you to perform Save, Delete and
Format operations.

disk.

well as all the partitions themselves.
