- Write Protect Hard Disks (WPHD) - v2.0
- Copyright (c) 1990, 1991 Solutions by the Numbers
-
- Write Protect Hard Disks can be used to control write access to your hard
- disks while running questionable software or to limit write access to drives
- while others are on your machine.
-
- Just like putting a write-protect tab on your fixed disks, any write access to
- the hard disks going through the ROM BIOS will be rejected.
-
- Using WPHD:
-
- WPHD command [/Ppassword] [/Ddrives]
-
- Commands are:
-
- ON - Write protect the hard disks (default)
- OFF - Turn off the write protection for the hard disks
- REMOVE - Remove WPHD from memory
- ? - Display the current setting
-
- Example: WPHD on /Padmin /Dcd
-
- This would write protect drives C: and D: and set the password to
- ADMIN (case insensitive). Once a password has been set, the only
- command that can be used without the password is "?". Also, once
- the password has been set, it may not be changed except by removing
- WPHD from memory and re-installing it.
-
-
- This program is supplied AS IS without any warranty, expressed or implied
- including but not limited to fitness for a particular purpose.
-
- Since WPHD works at the ROM-BIOS level it is possible that a program
- can get to the disk by programming the disk controller directly.
-
- If you find WPHD useful, a registration of $5.00 would be appreciated.
