SUMMARY
You are unable to access Windows NT when you use Fifth Generation
Systems Disklock. Disklock is a data security application that uses
password protection and an optional data encryption scheme to keep
your computer secure from unauthorized access.
If you run the Disklock installation program from within Windows NT, it
will fail with an "Unable to locate physical sector" error message.
Disklock installs correctly from MS-DOS even if Windows NT is installed on
your system, but when you attempt to start Windows NT, a STOP message
appears:
***STOP: 0x0000007B INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
Disklock must be removed (uninstalled) to be able to open Windows NT.
This is a design feature of Disklock because it modifies the Master
Boot Record on your hard disk drive so that it is unreadable unless
DISKLOCK.SYS is loaded from CONFIG.SYS and the correct password is
supplied.
The Disklock product included here is manufactured by Fifth Generation
Systems, a vendor independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied
or
otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
