Before You Partition or Format the Current Bootable Disk

Ensure that MBR Security is disabled before you change partitioning or formatting of the current

receive error messages from the disk utility or a warning from MBR Security the next time the
computer is turned on or restarted. To disable MBR Security, complete the following steps:
1. Turn on or restart the computer. If you are in Windows, click Start # Shut Down # Restart
the Computer.
2. When the F10 Setup message appears in the lower-right corner of the screen, press the F10 key.
Press Enter to bypass the title screen, if necessary.
If you do not press the F10 key while the message is displayed, you must restart
the computer to access the utility.
3. Select Security # Master Boot Record Security # Disabled.
4. Before exiting, click File # Save Changes and Exit.
