FORMATTING YOUR LACIE USB KEY
With the aid of LaCie Setup Assistant, you have created a partition called LA-PUBLIC. Using the LaCie
Private-Public application included on your USB key, you can also create a secure volume called LA-PRIVATE.
The LA-PRIVATE partition is password-protected and it uses strong AES 256 encryption to keep your most
important data safe from unauthorized users.
You may also use Disk Management (Windows) or Disk Utility (Mac) to format and partition your LaCie USB Key.
Please note that formatting any storage device will delete all of its data. Therefore, LaCie highly recommends
copying all data stored on LA-PUBLIC and LA-PRIVATE before partitioning the USB key. Do not forget to copy the
LaCie Private-Public application with your data. You may create a secure LA-PRIVATE volume once the format is
complete.
Important Info: Formatting and partitioning your LaCie storage device will delete all data stored on the
LA-PUBLIC and LA-PRIVATE partitions. LaCie highly recommends copying all data stored on your LA-PUBLIC
and LA-PRIVATE partitions before attempting to partition the LaCie USB Key.
Please read the following section carefully before formatting and partitioning your LaCie storage
device.
