The UniKey Drive Initialization tool is used to set the parameters of and initialise a UniKey Drive device. With the Init tool, settings which can be configured include the size of the general (normal) partition, the size of the password-protected partition, the size and password of the hidden partition and the contents of the read-only partition. These settings can be initialized to one or multiple UniKey Drive devices.

In the settings tab, a software vendor has the ability to set the partition size of UniKey Drive and set which .iso image to use for the CD-ROM emulation.
In the "Settings" tab, the user can set the partition sizes within UniKey Drive, contents of VCD partition and the password of the password-protected partition.
<!--Note that sizes of the partitions affected by size of .iso file-->


• To set Virtual CD-ROM drive emulation please enter the location of the desired file or use the button next to the text box.
* To set the contents of the Virtual CD-ROM drive, select the desired .iso to be loaded onto the read-only partition in the [Virtual CD (ISO File)] option. A default .iso image is provided within the same folder at the Init tool in the SDK, containing the UniKey Drive Entry tool "Entry.exe", used for gaining access to the password-protected partition.<br>Please note that an .iso image must be provided to initialise the UniKey Drive device.
* The size of the Hidden Drive has can be specified under the [Hidden Drive] option, a value between 1 to 1023 in megabytes. This partition is not accessible by any means other than pre-programmed commands using the UniKey Drive API.
* The General/Protected Drive Physical Capacity slider provides selection over the amount of space allocated to either partition. The normal parition (general drive) is openly accessible, whereas the password-protected partition (protected drive) requires the correct password entered into the Entry tool to access it.
* Setting the password of the password-protected partition can be done in the [Secure Password] fields.


Please note that you must have an image loaded, all 4 partitions must be created. In the directory with the Init tool launcher, a sample .iso image is provided which contains an autorun.inf and the UniKey Drive Entry tool.

To clear all settings back to the default, click on [Reset]. Current settings can be saved to a .ini file by clicking [Save], and can be later loaded through [Load].


• General/Protected drive physical capacity slider allows control over the available space the end user has access to on the UniKey Drive.
All fields must be specified and valid, and a valid .iso image must be given in the Virtual CD-ROM option for initialization to be successful. A error message will appear if settings have not been configured correctly.


Please note that the Protected drive requires a password to log into, whilst the general drive is accessible to anyone.

• Secure password input is required to make any changes to the UniKey.
After settings have been configured in the "Settings" tab, configured settings can be initialized onto the UniKey Drive from the "Initing" tab.


To clear all your setting changes back to the default, please click on the Reset button. The Save button creates a .ini file with the configurations made above, Load allows you to load a previously made settings.

UniKey Drive Init Tool

The UniKey Drive Initialization tool is used to set the parameters of and initialise a UniKey Drive device. With the Init tool, settings which can be configured include the size of the general (normal) partition, the size of the password-protected partition, the size and password of the hidden partition and the contents of the read-only partition. These settings can be initialized to one or multiple UniKey Drive devices.

Settings

In the "Settings" tab, the user can set the partition sizes within UniKey Drive, contents of VCD partition and the password of the password-protected partition.

  • To set the contents of the Virtual CD-ROM drive, select the desired .iso to be loaded onto the read-only partition in the [Virtual CD (ISO File)] option. A default .iso image is provided within the same folder at the Init tool in the SDK, containing the UniKey Drive Entry tool "Entry.exe", used for gaining access to the password-protected partition.
    Please note that an .iso image must be provided to initialise the UniKey Drive device.
  • The size of the Hidden Drive has can be specified under the [Hidden Drive] option, a value between 1 to 1023 in megabytes. This partition is not accessible by any means other than pre-programmed commands using the UniKey Drive API.
  • The General/Protected Drive Physical Capacity slider provides selection over the amount of space allocated to either partition. The normal parition (general drive) is openly accessible, whereas the password-protected partition (protected drive) requires the correct password entered into the Entry tool to access it.
  • Setting the password of the password-protected partition can be done in the [Secure Password] fields.

To clear all settings back to the default, click on [Reset]. Current settings can be saved to a .ini file by clicking [Save], and can be later loaded through [Load].

All fields must be specified and valid, and a valid .iso image must be given in the Virtual CD-ROM option for initialization to be successful. A error message will appear if settings have not been configured correctly.

Initing

After settings have been configured in the "Settings" tab, configured settings can be initialized onto the UniKey Drive from the "Initing" tab.

To initialise multiple UniKey Drive devices with the same settings, tick the [In batch] box, otherwise leave the option unchecked to only initialize one device.

After a UniKey Drive device is plugged in, clicking the [Init] button will begin the initialization process and will format the UniKey Drive to preconfigured settings.

Warning: All data on the device is deleted during initialization.

Important: Do not remove the UniKey device until initialization has completed! Failure to do so may render the device inoperable.

Once the Progress window outputs "Initialized successfully", the UniKey Drive device can be safely removed.

If the [In batch] option is ticked, the following popup will appear.

Remove and insert the next UniKey Drive as needed, clicking [Cancel] when finished.

Record

In the "Record tab", initialization logs are chronologically listed and can be printed with [Print].
