ABSTRACT:
A device and method for preventing access to data on a hard drive in which a first password is stored on the hard drive so that it is not accessible from a system in which the hard drive is installed, and in which a second password is provided from the system. A comparison of the two passwords is made in a processor in the hard drive to determine whether the two passwords are the same. If the result of the comparison of the first and second passwords is that the two passwords are not the same, access to the hard drive is denied.
