It is convenient for user to use USB
disk to carry massive data. While some data on the disk may be sensitive or
private which user does not want to disclose it for other user.
This application provides a method for user to lock the content of the disk.
When the application is running, it
will install an icon on the tray bar. The user can right click the mouse button
on the icon, and it will pop the menu. If user checks the ‘Status’
item, it will pop a dialog on the screen to display current state of the disk
and you can do some operation on the disk. If user checks the ‘Exit’
item, then the application will be terminated.
After partition the disk, the disk will
be partition into public and private disk, and the default state of the private
disk will be unlocked. Users can set the password to protect the private disk.
If VT6208 IDE bridge is bus power, when the USB disk
is plug to the system, the disk will be set to locked state. But if VT6208 IDE bridge is self power, it will be set to unlocked state.
Note:
The maximum length of the password is
12 characters.
Warning:
1. If your disk contains valuable data,
please backup your data first, the security tool may cause all your data lost.
2. The locked disk may cause the system
can not successful boot in BIOS POST time. Please disable the BIOS USB storage
support or unplug the disk and replug it when the system is booted.
3. When the user forgets the original
password, there is no way to recover the disk content any more. The only way to
unlock the disk is erasing it. The “erase” function will erase the
content of the disk and password.

There are two operation modes, Windows UI and command line, to execute installation and remove. The most popular is the Windows UI mode that provides convenient user interface and systematic operation. The command line mode, also called as silent mode, need user append more parameters behind SETUP.EXE as answer to make the setup program silence without pop any dialogs.
There are possible two types setup
package you may have. One is compressed as a zip file includes visible setup
and driver files. Another one is made as a self-extracted-execution file. In
the following, we will show you the steps to complete driver installation and
remove with both package types.
If the downloaded file is ZIP-compressed format, please extract it to proper location in your hard disk first. Then launch the SETUP.EXE by double-clicking. Otherwise, you could double-click the self-extracted-execution file and wait for few seconds for the self-extraction. The extracted file will be deleted automatically after setup has been terminated.
First time execution
If it is the first time to execute the setup package, you will only have the choice of installation.
Maintenance
After the first time execution, you could have choice to make ¡§Update¡¨ and ¡§Remove¡¨. You will see two options, ¡§Update¡¨ and ¡§Remove¡¨ in the first shown dialog. If you are going to update the driver, please active the ¡§Update¡¨ radio button and press next button to enter next steps. Else, if you are going to remove the installed driver in your system, please active the ¡§Remove¡¨ radio button and press next button to enter next steps.
The silent mode are usually applied to system maintainer for servicing hundreds systems that won¡¦t have interactive user interface. They would execute the setup through command line in console or batch file execution without closing any popped dialog popped or pressing next buttons. In addition, the command line parameters of these two types of downloaded file format get few differences.
ZIP-Compressed Package
In this type package, you could see a setup.exe in those extracted files. User could append parameters behind setup.exe as command line in console.

present command line parameters are: -s and /z"reboot;remove;kompnt:xx,yy,zz"
