have to install the driver bundled with the DiskGO! Watch. See Section “Installing/Uninstalling
the Application Software” for details.
3. You will not have to install the software on most computers. The DiskGO! Watch can use the
default driver in most cases. However, if you want to run the application software bundled with
the product, you must install the software which will also install additional drivers. This will
ensure the proper function of the application software.
4. The DiskGO! Watch will operate with the basic disk functions supported in the operating
systems listed above.
GUIDE TO COMPONENTS
USB Interface: The interface connects to the USB port of the computer.
LED Display: The LED Display will show the status of the device. When the DiskGO!
Watch is being used, the LED will flash quickly.
BASIC FUNCTIONS
1. Plug and Play
When you plug the device into the USB port of your computer, you will see a “Removable Disk” icon
in the Explorer window.
When using the DiskGO! Watch on a Macintosh using OS 9.0 or higher, once you plug the DiskGO!
Watch into the USB port, you should see the disk icon on the Desktop. If you are using MAC OS 8.6,
you will need to download the necessary USB mass storage driver from Apple’s web site before using
the DiskGO! Watch.
In Linux, you can follow the following instruction to “mount” the device,
．First plug the device into the USB port of your computer
．Execute: cd /etc/sysconfig/ ( cat /etc/sysconfig/hwconf | more )
．Check the device information in hwconf and write down the mount point.
．Make a directory in /mnt (ex: mkdir /mnt/usbHD )
．Then execute: mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbHD (if mount point was .dev/sda)
2. Read/Write Capabilties
You can read, write, copy, and delete files and data just like you would on a normal hard disk or
floppy disk. The DiskGO! Watch Drive allows for fast and easy data transfer.
3. Unplugging the Device
When using the DiskGO! Watch with Windows ME, 2000, or XP, you must stop the device using the
“Safe Removal” icon in the system tray.
Double click the “Safe Removal” icon, and the “Unplug or Eject Hardware” window will pop up. You
can select the device you want to remove (USB Mass Storage Device). Then click the “Stop” button.
Shortly after clicking stop, you will get a message indicating that you can unplug the device from the
USB port of your computer.
Warning
: When you want to remove the DiskGO! Watch, make sure the LED isn’t flashing.
If the LED is flashing, activity is still occurring between your computer and the DiskGO!
Watch. Do not remove the DiskGO! Watch at this time as it could damage your data or the
DiskGO! Watch.
Warning If you do not follow the Safe Removal procedure in Windows ME, 2000, or XP, it may
cause data loss or the malfunction of the DiskGO! Watch.
If you are using a Macintosh, you can drag the removable disk icon and put into the trash. This will
perform the “Eject” function which will allow you to safely remove the DiskGO! Watch
If you are using Linux, please follow the “un-mount” command procedure to remove the device.
PARTITION TYPES
You can partition the DiskGO! Watch into three types of areas. We will use the following terminologies in
this guide:
1. Public Area There is no “Security” function at all. You can do any basic functions, as
described in the “Basic Functions” section.
2. SecureArea This area cannot be viewed without the application software. Once you log
in using the application software, your view will switch from the “Public
Area” to the “Secure Area”. Once this is done successfully, you can do any
basic functions, described in the “Basic Functions” section.
You can only view either the “Public Area” or “Security Area” in the same
disk logic unit number, LUN.
You can select the following partition combinations:
1. Single Public Area The entire device storage area is accessible
2. Security Area Partition the device into two partitions in the same LUN, Public
Area and Security Area. The Public Area can be accessed by
everybody. The Security Area can be accessed only by using a
password.
3. Public Area Plus Security Area Partition the device into three partitions in two LUNs, Public
Area and Security Area in LUN0, and Public Area in LUN1. The
partition status is shown in the following diagram. The
partitions in LUN 0 will perform as described in the above item
2. The partition in LUN1 will perform as described in the above
item 1.
This figure shows the detail operation of single LUN.
This figure shows the detail operation of multiple LUNs.

If you are using Windows 98, you must install the driver before you install the application software.
Installing the software:
If you are installing the application software for use with Windows XP or 2000, you must first log on to the
computer as “administrator” and then install the application software.
Precautions about the USB Interface
• Please connect the device to the USB port of your computer when you install the application
software.
• If you do not connect the device to the USB port and install the application software in Windows XP,
when you first plug in the device you will have to install the DiskGO! Watch driver again.
• After you install the driver in Windows 98 or Win Me, you will need to unplug the DiskGO! Watch and
plug it again in order to use the correct driver.
1. Find the “UMSDTools2.33.exe” program.

Notes:
• The USB driver only needs to be installed the first time the DiskGO! Watch is connected via the USB
port.

the installation is incomplete.
• Read the “Troubleshooting” Section if the installation cancels, if the installation did not proceed as
described, or if you feel that the drivers are not properly installed.
Installing the USB Driver:
For some Windows system, users should log on as the Administrator before installation. Once you have
attached the DiskGO! Watch to the computer, it will find the appropriate driver or the “Add New Hardware
