Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a theft and to protect the secrecy of the hard disk. CONSTITUTION:When the power source of the hard disk is turned on, an interrupt 1 is generated to an information processor, and the information processor sends 2 a self device number to the hard disk. After storing a device number, the hard disk reads out the device number stored in the device, for example, a ROM and compares the both of them. At the time of the coincidence, a flag initialized to '0' in advance is set to '1', and ends the application of the power source. Then, when a command is issued from the information processor to the hard disk, the hard disk refers to the flag and executes command processing if it is '1'. When it is '0', for example, all the processing results come to abnormal end and are returned to the information processor.

First, when the power of the hard disk device is turned on, an interrupt 1 occurs in the information processing device, and the information processing device sends out its own device number 2 to the hard disk device. After acquiring the device number, the hard disk device reads the device number stored in the device, for example, stored in the ROM, and compares the two. If they match, set "1" to the flag that has been initialized to "0" in advance,
When the power is turned on, the operation ends.
