Abstract

In order to maintain a computer/hard disk system free from boot sector and partition record viruses, a hardware device is added to the computer that prevents writing to cylinder zero of the hard disk, and a method is provided for setting up the disk so that the boot sector and partition record are within the write-protected area, and all other parts of the disk are write enabled. <IMAGE>
