Re: HD Protect Passwords



Nope. The password is a cooperation between the drive and the
controller/carrier. Previously on this list someone took one out and
tried to read it in a desktop and the entire disk was all zeros. They
did it right, gang! You can't read a Thinkpad disk that has a password
on it unless you know the password.

And I, for one, am very glad of that!
