Disklock is a driver level security program that loads BEFORE the system
software
so you will not be able to use a startup disk to bypass it.
The situation is complcated somewhat by the fact that it is an IDE drive in
the
3400 and not a SCSI drive. You may be able to startup the PB from a
startup disk and then use something like Norton Disk Editor to wipe out
the driver info on the disk, then reformat with drive setup.
You might also be able to remove the drive and attach it to another machine
as a
second drive and then be able to Nuke and Pave.
