A. General Description

A1. About the BioDisk

What is the BioDisk? What does it do?

The BioDisk is a USB Flash storage device with a finger print sensor, which allows you to use your
own finger print as a security key instead of (or as well as) a password. Because everyoneÊs finger
print is unique, the security level is much higher than with just a password-protect function. Be­sides raising the security level, there are many other benefits from using your finger print, including
convenience and privacy.

A2. Partition Arrangement

The total capacity of your BioDisk is divided into 2 partitions:

Partition 1 CD-Rom Area
Partition 2 Secure Removable Area

Partition 1 CD-Rom Area

This partitions can only be seen in Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating systems.

It stores the BioDisk application software, which will autorun when the BioDisk is connected to the
USB port of your computer (providing the desktop has autorun enabled). This is a read only area,
so you cannot write to, or delete, this partition.

Partition 2 Secure Removable Area

This is the area that your data is stored in, and is protected by a password and/or a finger print.

A3. Autorun Feature

The Autorun feature allows you to run the BioDisk without having to start any programmes your­self. When your BioDisk is connected to the USB Port of a computer, the software will automati­cally execute.

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, you will only see the CD-Rom partition (Partition 1), and the
Removable partition (Partition 2). The Biodisk AP will be running from the CD-Rom
partition.

Note:

You may also rotate the BioDisk 180o and swipe. In this instance keep finger to left edge of sensor
area. We would usually, however, recommend scanning as outlined above for better performance.
