CAUTION: You must enable this option first before formatting your hard disk drive
(HDD). Upon enabling this function, you will be asked to type in your HDD key. You
must remember the HDD key as you need to type it every time you boot up your
system.
If you did not enable this option and have already formatted your hard disk, then you
must “GHOST” the contents of your hard disk to another storage media before you can
enable this option for the first time.
IMPORTANT: If you should lose the HDD key, your dealer or the computer
manufacturer will not be responsible for any loss of data. You will need to re-format
your hard disk and thereby, lose all your original data.
