Disk Encryption function.

Many MP3 users are puzzled by the problem of information disclosure and private
data accessed by others.

When others borrow MP3, you may have to delete the private information, which
may cause big bother.

However, the ?Disk Encryption? function provided by this player completely solves
the bothering problem.

Users may divide USB disk of this player by its accessory tools into two parts in any
proportion (users may see two drivers on PC. But SP4 should be installed on
operating system of Windows 2000, otherwise only one driver can be seen. Without
such installation, users must choose ?single ordinary disk? or ?single encrypted
disk? in ?Online Mode? of ?Sys Setting? menu.), and one part can be encrypted as
private space which needs password to access to. (If users do not encrypt both parts, USB memory may be treated as two disks.) Such is the great

?Disk Encryption? function.

1. Connect the player to PC.

2. Run the accessory installation tools ?MP3 Player Disk Tool?.

3. The first is format tool. Choose ?Partition and
encrypt? option, and set a desired capacity for the
encrypted disk, then choose the setting of
username or password. Fill the username in the
blank ?New username?, and password in the
blank ?New password?, and then input the same
password again in the blank ?New password
Confirm?. After the above operation, click ?Start?
button, and partition starts.

My question to you is why are you even formatting it?

I would hazard the guess that it does not come pre-formatted with a writable file format...

But that's speculation of course...
 
the reason is irrelevant right now. but if you all must know, i tried to format it because it was poping up with errors left and right when i tried to load mp3 onto it.

so the formating is done and why i did is is irrelavent.

the partioning tool only recognizes 120mb also..
