Hard Disk Encryption
Your system includes hard disk encryption (including boot sector,
operating system, temp and swap files) that ensures privacy and
confidentiality of data and credentials stored on your hard drive. In
contrast to software disk encryption, no clear text including pass phrases
is ever stored on the hard drive or held in machine memory. The system’s
unique design also completely eliminates any dependency on operating
system or device drivers while functioning automatically and
transparently, thereby ensuring ease-of-use.
Attempts to circumvent security by booting from a floppy disk or by
removing the hard drive to be read on a different machine would prove
futile since the entire content of the hard drive is encrypted.
You must enable hard disk encryption first before formatting your hard
drive.
