3. Manager Program
The Manager program is a convenient way for you to format the entire disk in case of
data corruption, to password-protect your entire Mobile Disk, or to designate only a
portion of the Disk as your password-protected Secure area and leave the rest of the disk
as a Public area for sharing with other users.
To launch the Manager Program insert the CD in your computer’s CD Drive and then go
to Window’s Start menu, click on Run…, and then browse to locate
diskmanager_v12e.exe on your CD. Then click OK to run the program.
The Manager program offers three main functions:
• Format by clicking the General Format button will format the whole storage area
without partition.
• Format by clicking the Apply Password button will designate the whole storage area
as a Secure area (except a capacity of approximately 430KB) requiring a password to
access the disk.
• Format by clicking the Partition button will divide the storage area into Secure and
Public areas. A program called ModeChange.exe will be automatically copied onto
the disk for switching between Secure and Public areas.
Following are detailed descriptions for each of the above functions:
