Frozen Drives
e Frozen Drives tab is used to select which drives are to be Frozen (protected by Deep Freeze) or
awed (unprotected).
Checked drives are Frozen by Deep Freeze. Only local drives (partitions or physical drives) can be
Frozen. All of the drive letters are shown because the pre-configured installation file may be installed
on many workstations with various hardware and soware setups.
In the example above, the
C: drive is checked, but not the D: drive. is results in all workstations
with only a C: drive being Frozen. Workstations with a D: partition or drive have a Frozen C:
drive and a awed D: partition or drive.
External hard disks connected via USB or IEEE 1394 (FireWire) are exempt from Deep Freeze
protection by default on Windows 2000/XP workstations (i.e. they will not be Frozen). If USB and/or
IEEE 1394 (FireWire) is unchecked, or if the workstation is running Windows 95/98/Me, these types of
external hard disks are Frozen if their corresponding drive letter is checked.
Network drives and removable media drives (floppy, memory keys, CD-RW, etc.) are
not affected by Deep Freeze and therefore cannot be Frozen.
