   GM Ed,   
      
   EV> When I saw "(in the BIOS)" in Your reply the MB BIOS is all I   
   EV> thought of, I didn't think that it could be the BIOS on the HDD.   
      
   The BIOS is the only place where you can set a pwrd on HDD's.   
      
   EV> I think long time ago me and Jean talked about this and I learned it   
   EV> applied to HDDs on Notebooks only.   
      
   Yes I remember that discussion but I cannot recall that it was limited   
   to notebooks only.   
      
   EV> The computer I mostly use is a mini-tower.   
      
   The HD pwrd can be set on any HD as long as there is such a setting in   
   the BIOS configuration.   
      
    HG> That's where the HD password comes in. Wherever that HD is   
    HG> mounted it can not be opened without knowing that password. The   
    HG> pwrd is written into the HD itself.   
      
   EV> AH!, there I see the Subject of our conversation now.
