When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the
hard disk when the hard disk is inserted in a different computer, since a password is also set
for the hard disk. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read and
write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the
same as they were before the hard disk was removed.
It is possible to set the Hard Disk Lock even if [Password on boot] is set to [Disable], but we
recommend that [Password on boot] be set to [Enable] for security reasons.
