First, use the VaultResize program to scan for the Aegis Vault by clicking
on the “Scan Bus” button. During the scan, the Aegis Vault is ejected and
reinitialized as the program tries to get exclusive access to the drive.
Note: It may be necessary to remove other USB hard drives before
running Scan Bus, to prevent them from interfering with the scan.
When the Scan Bus is successfully completed, it shows Drive Detected in
the upper left-hand portion of the screen. Use the slide bar, to choose the
percentage of the Aegis Vault’s encrypted partition. Click on the Resize
button to repartition the Aegis Vault. The balance of the hard drive can be
used to create a second partition that is not encrypted.
Warning: Performing this operation will render any data on the
drive inaccessible. Make sure you backup any important data
before resizing the private partition.
Once completed, use Windows Disk Management to partition and format
the public partition on the drive. To complete formatting of the Aegis
Vault’s encrypted partition, use the Format button in the VaultTray program
as described above.
Partition and format the public partition.
Using Disk Management to prepare the public partition:
1. Go to Start|Settings|Control Panel.
2. From the Classic View in the Control Panel window, double-click
Administrative Tools.
