1. About Disk Password Protection
=================================

Disk Password Protection 4.9: a comprehensive suite of hard-drive
protection/access restriction tools. Protect your disk/partitions
with a password, ban all reading/writing activity, limit launch of
specified files to authorized personnel only, etc.
Disk Password Protection 4.9 offers users the option to choose what
kind of protection they need. First is the Boot Protection. When
chosen, any unauthorized person will not be able to boot a computer
without entering the correct password. The program also offers
Partition Protection. Any person can chose to have one or several
partitions where all confidential information is stored. When
protection is activated, the partition will be invisible to the
operating system and the disk space taken up by sensitive data will
appear as free disk space. The Low-Level Protection option allows
users to blocks all attempts to read/write to/from the protected disk.
The drive itself will appear as if it were just manufactured and is
not formatted to perform any operations. This protection works only
for ATA-compatible disks and must be activated in MS-DOS.
