Description:

That is why most flash drives today are equipped with security settings like the Disk Go! Flash drive. The Disk Go! Flash drive has programs included in it where in users will be able to set various security levels to the flash drive. For the users to set these security levels they need to use the umsd.exe program.

Since the umsd.exe file is a program, its icon appears in the system tray upon installing the software for the Disk Go! Flash drive. Performing a right-click on the umsd.exe program icon will display a menu where in the user can choose options from the menu to configure the security settings of the Disk Go! Flash disk.

With the umsd.exe program the user is not only allowed to change security settings on the Disk Go! Flash disk but also to partition it. Partition means assigning a size to a specific drive. In the case of the Disk Go! Flash disk, it has two partitions, which are the Public Area only, and the Security Area only partitions.

The operating systems that are needed to install and run the umsd.exe process are as Windows 98 2nd Edition, Windows Millennium Edition (Windows ME), Windows 2000, Windows XP, Linux 2.4 or higher, Mac OS 9.0 or higher.
