Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an HDD, an HDD confirming unit, a system control unit, and a non-volatile semiconductor storage device. The HDD stores user data created by a user. The HDD confirming unit determines whether or not the HDD is in an inoperative state. The system control unit separates the HDD from the image forming apparatus to set the image forming apparatus to a restriction mode when the HDD is in the inoperative state. The non-volatile semiconductor storage device stores system data used for an operation of the system control unit.
