Partitioning the SafeNet eToken 7300

SAC 8.2 supports partitioning the SafeNet eToken 7300 by dividing the token's flash drive into a DVD partition and a user storage partition.

Either one of the following can be performed on the SafeNet eToken 7300:

n      Initialize and partition: The initialization process deletes the data from the smart card and flash drive (user storage). New data is written to the smart card.

The partitioning process allows you to configure the flash drive partitioning settings, and divide the flash drive into a DVD partition and a user storage partition.

n      Partition without initializing: The flash drive is divided into a DVD or a user storage partition without deleting and resetting the smart card's contents.
