Unlocking In Read-Only Mode
You can unlock your device in a read-only state so that files cannot be altered on your secure drive.

Mode will prevent any malware on that computer from infecting your device or modifying your files.
Managed devices can be forced to unlock in a read-only state by an administrator.
When working in this mode, the DataLocker Control Panel will display the text Read-Only Mode .

example, you cannot reformat the device, restore applications or edit the Applications List, or edit
files on the drive.
