Sending your disk (CD, DVD or hard) with important information into the wrong hands, few people wanted to get it back with someone else's information. And getting a virus as a gift is not a pleasant surprise. Therefore, there are ways that you can protect the disc from subsequent writing to it of information.
Necessary
Computer, disk
Instructions
Step 1
If you use a special program to burn a CD or DVD, then your task can be solved very simply - uncheck the box next to "Multisession disc". It can be located on a separate tab, it can be located on the General tab, or it can be displayed separately in the clarifying window when the disc is sent for recording. Multisession allows adding new files to the disc to the already recorded ones, but not always subsequent sessions will be played on consumer players.
Step 2
If you lend a flash drive with important information to a neighbor, colleague, or classmate, you are unlikely to want to return it back with a bunch of unnecessary junk. And this happens. This means (including to speed up the return of your property), you need to put write protection. All you need to do is set a checkmark for the flash drive in the "Security" tab opposite the "Read", "List of folder contents" and "Read and Execute" items. For the "Security" tab to appear in the folder properties, go to Tools - Folder options - "View" tab and uncheck the box next to the item: "Simple file and folder sharing". Click on "OK".
Step 3
If you send your hard drive “on a visit”, from which your friend is going to copy a large amount of data at once, you hardly want to get your disk with viruses back. So, set write protection on the hard drive. To do this, use special programs, such as HDD Password Protection - a program that will allow you to delimit access to the hard disk and set a password that you will need to enter in order to add anything to the hard disk.
