Gizmo! Secure Software

The Gizmo! Secure application allows you to set up and configure public and secure areas on your Crucial Gizmo! drive. With this application, you can protect sensitive information on your Gizmo! drive from being accessed without your consent.

Caution: Whenever you use this application to create or change the size of the public and secure areas on your Gizmo! drive, all of the information on the drive is erased. If you plan to use public and secure areas on your Gizmo! drive, you should install the application and create the areas before you save information on your drive. If you've already saved information on your Gizmo! drive and you want to recreate areas, save the information elsewhere before you create the areas and then copy the information back onto the drive afterward.

Note: The Gizmo! Secure application must be installed on the system by an administrator in order to access the secure partition.
