Troubleshooting

vCreating a boot disk on a key with a Privacy Zone: If you previously created a Privacy Zone on your Memory Key (using the KeySafe II application), you will need to delete this Privacy Zone before running the boot application. The way to delete this Privacy Zone is by running KeySafe II and setting the Privacy Zone to 0. For more information, refer to the KeySafe II manual on the CD.

vCreating a boot disk on a write-protect enabled key: If you previously set your key to be write protected (using MyKey application), you will need to disable this feature before you run the boot application. For more information, refer to the MyKey manual on the CD.

vUsing multiple Memory Keys simultaneously: If you have inserted more than one Memory Key, you will be prompted to remove the keys, and leave only the key you want to use as a boot disk plugged in.
