l
Read/Write Protect
a disk so that it cannot be read from, or written to, unless the user enters the
password you assign.
NOTE:
Although Peerless disk protection options are set and removed using IomegaWare software, the
actual protection mechanism is secured in the drive hardware. This means the disk protection cannot be
bypassed using other software programs. If the Iomega disk is write-protected with a forgotten password,
the data to another disk, and reformat the original disk for reuse. If the Iomega disk is read/write-protected, the
data cannot be recovered and the disk must be reformatted in order to be used again.

Peerless disks are preformatted. You must use IomegaWare software to reformat Peerless disks or change
