Preventing Your Hard Disk Data from Being Read or Written

The hard disk lock function protects the hard disk data from being read or written when the hard disk is attached to another computer. The data can be read/written when the hard disk is returned to the original computer. (Note that the hard disk lock does not guarantee complete protection of the data.)

1

Select [Enabled] in [Hard Disk Lock] in the [Security] menu of the Setup Utility

(

Î

page 111 ).

CAUTION

z For the data being read/written on the original computer, the Setup Utility settings must be the same as when the hard disk was removed.

z You cannot use the hard disk lock function without setting the Supervisor Password. Set the Supervisor Password

beforehand ( Î page 39

).

z When you have your hard disk drive repaired

• Contact Panasonic Technical Support.

• Before sending back the hard disk drive, be sure to set the [Hard Disk Lock] to [Disabled].

NOTE

z

The hard disk lock function works with the built-in hard disk. It does not work with the external hard disk.

z

We recommend you to set [Password on boot] to [Enabled] to ensure security though it is not required to enable the hard disk lock.

Intel

®

®

CoreTM vProTM processor family and Intel

®

CoreTM processor family mounted. With Intel

To check if such application software is installed, do the following.

Click (Start) - [Control Panel] - [Uninstall a program].

Click [start] - [Control Panel] - [Add or Remove Programs].

If [Intel(R) Identity Protection Technology x.x.x.x] is displayed, the software has been installed.

Otherwise, install the software in the following steps.

Click (Start) and input “c:/util/ipt” in [Search programs and files], and press

Enter

.

Click [start] - [Run] and input “c:/util/ipt”, and click [OK].
