Again, use the up and down arrow keys to select the option. The
different options and their functions are described below.

Set Boot Partition

Choose this option to select from which partition you want to
boot. A check mark appears next to the partition currently set to
boot.

To change the boot partition, follow these steps:

1)

Use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the partition
you want to set as the boot partition.

2)

Use the left or right arrow key to move the check mark
to the highlighted partition.

3)

Press <return> to return to the Vulcan main menu or
<esc> to leave the boot partition as it was.

*

Note: You must set the Startup Slot (in the Slots option
of the Control Panel menu) to the Vulcan’s slot before
the partition boot setting will be active.

Write Protect Partition

Activating the write protect feature is the same in function as
write protecting a floppy disk. You will not be able to store new
information to the write protected partitions.

To write protect a partition, follow these steps:

1)

Use the up or down arrow keys to highlight the
partition you want to write protect.

2)

Use the left or right arrow key to put an asterisk beside
any partition you want to protect.

3)

Press <return> to return to the Vulcan main menu or
<esc> to leave the Write Protection menu as it was.

Note: You must reboot before the write protection can
take effect.

Park Heads

Parking the heads moves the read/write heads to a more durable
part of the hard disk to reduce the risk of damaging the drives
when the hard disk is being moved. You don’t really need to
park the heads unless you plan to move your computer.
