peer agreement (net): +1enabled drive Explanation: Only an educated guess I'm afraid. I would assume that "freigeschaltet" is "enabled", as in a drive which ahs been released for read/write activities! |

peer agreement (net): +1enabled drive Explanation: "operation of enabled drives" A "drive" can be within the same machine, but this is not necessarily the case (for instance, a connected [=mapped] storage resource on the network is also referred to as a "drive"). Judging from the context given, I'd say that this does in fact refer to the built-in diskette drive; in this context, "freigeschaltet" refers to drives that are enabled. (Note that drives may be disabled for security reasons, e.g. under WinNT or Win2k - diskettes are a prime source of virus infections...) Own usage |

activated Explanation: When I recently opened an online banking account with a German bank, I had to fill out some forms before the account was *freigeschaltet* Maybe this would work here too. KudoZ Glossary |
