Boot protection

Disk Password Protection enables password protection of the system launch. It prevents the operating system from booting so that no unauthorized person can start working with the PC without entering a correct password. None of the operating systems installed will boot, since the system loader will be blocked from being read from the disk. The protection does not depend on any such factors as operating systems, disk formatting or uninstalling the program, and can only be disabled with the Disk Password Protection program.

Partition protection

If there is no need in restricting access to the whole system, and confidential data are stored only on a separate disk partition, Disk Password Protection can secure any specific disk partition or as many partitions as the user wants. With the protection activated, the partition will be invisible to the operating system and will appear as a free disk space. No operations can be done with this disk partition, and no other program or operating system can detect its presence in the hard drive. Unless the user runs the Disk Password Protection program and disables protection for the partition through entering a valid password, the partition will stay invisible. The protection can be enabled also for removable disks, such as flash drives, USB storage devices, external hard disks, etc.).

Low-level protection

This type of protection is designed by hard disk manufacturers and is activated and managed by the program at a low level, i.e. at the level of hard disk drive controllers. The protected disk will appear as if it were just manufactured and not formatted to perform any operations. Any reading/writing activity on this disk will be blocked, and can only be enabled with a valid password. If the user loses the password, the disk can no longer be used. The protection works with ATA-compatible disks only and must be enabled in the MS-DOS real time mode.

With any type of protection the protected disks will not be identified even if the device is connected to another computer.
A simple and user-friendly interface, as well as a step-by-step wizard, are what makes the Disk Password Protection system available for the users of any qualification.
