Installing Applications to Zip
®
Disks
If you are using Mac OS, just run the install for the application and
select the Zip disk as the target for installation. On a PC, some
applications and games will only install to, or run from, a fixed disk. In
order to install these programs to a Zip disk, use the Make
Nonremovable tool in your Iomega software package to make the Zip
disk appear as a fixed disk to the system. After the software installation
is complete, use Make Removable to restore disk to removability. Note
that you may need to use the Make Nonremovable tool whenever you
run the program from your Zip disk.
Read/Write Protecting Zip
®
Disks
Iomega software includes a special read/write protect feature that
allows you to:
• Write Protect a disk through software instead of with a mechanical
write protect switch.
• Write Protect a disk and assign a password that must be used to
remove the write protect.
• Read/Write Protect a disk so that it cannot be read from, or written
to, unless the user enters the password you assign.
