The Belkin USB Flash Drive may be partitioned into three types of disk. We will use the following terms in this guide,

1. Public Area

There is an area where you, as well as anyone else can do any basic functions, described in the “Basic Functions” section, in this area.

2. Security Area

This area cannot be viewed without the application software. Once you do the “Log In” action in the application software, you will switch view from “Public Area” to “Security Area”. After successful switch, you can do any basic functions, described in the “Basic Functions” section, in this area.

- You can only view either “Public Area” or “Security Area” at the same time in the same disk logic unit number (Drive).

In Belkin USB Flash Drive, you can select the following partition combinations:

1. Single Public Area

Make all the device area accessible by everybody.

2. Security Area

Make the device area into two partitions in the same Drive, Public Area and Security Area. Everybody can access the Public Area. The Security Area can be accessed “Only” with a password.

3. Public Area Plus Security Area

Make the device area into three partitions in two Drives, Public Area and Security Area in Drive1, and Public Area in Drive2. You can access these partitions by the multiple-Drive driver. The partition status was shown in the following figure. The partitions in Drive1 will perform as described in item 2. The partition in Drive2 will perform as described in item1.
