Abstract: The personal computer hard disk protection system is designed to protect data stored on computer hard disks of computers utilizing non-ISA buses while permitting multiple user operation. The personal computer hard disk protection system prevents unauthorized access to the hard disk by software applications, and permits safe servicing of requests which use the BIOS. The basis for the personal computer hard disk protection system functions is the dynamic transformation of the file system to the configuration of the current user. The system is based on a hardware device called the protection-program support module and a set of protection programs, most of which is stored in the protection-program support module. The protection program support module is an external board and is connected to the computer system bus and to the base IDE connection level, the latter of which is controlled by the protection program support module for either permitting or denying access to the hard disk.
