FAQs
Why use the protect
tool?
This software tool increases your disk protection options
beyond the floppy write-protect tab. From simple write
protection (with or without a password) to the read/write
protect option, this tool enables you to protect your
Iomega disk data according to its sensitivity.
See Protecting Disks for
more information.

What is the difference
between a short and long format?
A short format formats just the header information
on a disk, allowing the rest of the data on the disk
to be overwritten with new data as you work. A long
format formats the entire disk and verifies the integrity
of the disk surface.
See Formatting Disks for
more information.

What happens
if I forget my password?
If the Iomega disk is write-protected with a forgotten
password, copy the data to another disk, and reformat
the original disk for reuse. If the Iomega disk is read/write-protected,
the data cannot be recovered and the disk must be reformatted
in order to be used again.
To format the disk:
- Insert the disk you want to format.
- Right click the appropriate drive icon in My
Computer or Windows Explorer.
- Select Format from the drive shortcut menu.
- Select the I Forgot button.
- Select the Long Format option and format
the disk.
