locked and loaded

locked and loaded adj.  [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).
