Password HDD

Zorrowannabe9 · 11-28-2006, 05:59 AM

is it possible to put a security password on a HDD, as in none of its content can be seen without entering the password.

Well... I'm sure there are some things out there that'd do that, but why not just set a BIOS password so your system won't even start to boot without it?

Hmm... Something that just hit me, I know we used Pointsec at the hospital. It might be worth checking out.
