Boot Mode
After authentication, selecting Boot Mode from the Selection Screen allows you to boot an
operating system, such as Windows To Go, from the Sentry K300. In this mode, the device can
lose momentary connection with the computer and remain unlocked. Only select Boot Mode
when planning to run an operating system from the Sentry K300. For a more secure connection,
it is recommended to use
Connect Mode
, unless Boot Mode is specifically needed.
If Boot Mode is selected and the device is connected to an operating system like a normal flash
drive, it will automatically be remounted after safely ejecting. To lock your device, physically
remove it from the computer.
To use boot mode:
1.
Install an operating system on the drive. During installation of an operating system to
the Sentry K300, the drive does not need to be in Boot Mode. For installation
instructions, please refer to the portable operating system’s guide.
