Adding VaultConsole Program to a Public Partition
The VaultConsole is a stand alone program that allows users and the drive
administrator to unlock and lock the Aegis Vault on a system that does
not have the Aegis Vault software installed. The VaulConsole is available
from the menu on the Aegis Vault software CD. Alternately, you may
want to add the VaultConsole program to a public partition on the Aegis
Vault. Public partitions are not encrypted and will be accessible on most
computers with a USB port. With the VaultConsole program on a public
partition, you will always have access to the Aegis Vault without having to
carry the Aegis Vault Software CD.
The rst step is to create a public partition and an encrypted partition with
the VaultResize program. You will nd detailed instructions to resize
and format the partitions in section 6. VaultResize Program on page 11.
Once the public partition is created on the Aegis Vault go to: C:\Program
Files\Apricorn\VaultDrive folder and copy VaultConsole.exe to the
new public partition on the Aegis Vault. To access the encrypted data on
a computer that does not have the Aegis Vault software installed, simply
connect the Aegis Vault to any computer and open the public partition
then click on the VaultConsole.exe le, enter your password to access the
encrypted portion of the drive.
