McAfee Encrypted USB Devices User Guide

Saving and opening files

You can save files to a private partition that only you can access. The device encrypts

data saved to a private partition using the FIPS-approved AES algorithm (does not

apply to McAfee Standard Encrypted USB devices). Data is automatically decrypted

when you open the file.

Once you authenticate to the device, you can access files on your private partition. If

the device is locked and you try to access the private partition the following message

displays, “insert a disk into drive H:” where H is the drive letter associated with the

private partition.

Note: You cannot save data to the read-only partition.
