locked and loaded: adj.,obs. [from military slang for an M-16 rifle with magazine inserted and
prepared for firing] Said of a removable disk volume properly prepared for
use — that is, locked into the drive and with the heads loaded.
Ironically, because their heads are ‘loaded’ whenever the power
is up, this description is never used of Winchester
drives (which are named after a rifle).
