Functions
1. Read and Write: the DiskGO! as portable storage to read, write &
copy files.
2. Write Protect Switch: Located on the side of the unit, this switch
protects the data on the DiskGO! by hiding the main storage parti-
tion. This switch is disabled when the device is connected to a
computer.
3. Security application/manual to password-protect your DiskGO!
is included on the device (Windows users only: Windows 2000 below
SP3 must lock the drive first, to access the FDD partition containing
the software. Copy files to desktop to install.)
Using your DiskGO!
No matter which operating system you use, the computer will recog-
nize your device as if it were an additional hard disk or floppy drive.
You may copy, create and delete files on your DiskGO!
Windows users may access DiskGO! by browsing “My Computer.”
The device will appear as a Removable Disk with a drive letter as-
signed (e.g., “Removable Disk (E:)”).
Warning: if you are using the DiskGO! in a Novell Network
environment, consult your Systems Administrator to determine
if you have any mapped network drives. These can override
the built-in drive lettering features of Windows machines, and
prevent your DiskGO! from being properly recognized by your
system.
Mac users can access the DiskGO! by double-clicking the icon that
appears on the desktop (usually called “No_Name”).
Software Installation (Windows 98SE Only)
Drivers are required only if using Windows 98SE. Install driver prior to
connecting the DiskGO! for the first time.

www.edgetechcorp.com/support/products/portable-drives/usb-flash-
drive/).
2. Double-click “v2.34r016.zip” and select a location for the un-
zipped files. Once the files are extracted, double-click setup.exe
and follow the install instructions.
3. After setup is complete, restart your computer. Then plug your
DiskGO! into your USB drive.

status of the format process. When formatting is complete, you’ll see:
“Format Completed!”.
5. Click OK to return to Windows.
Format Using MacOS
1. Connect the DiskGO! to an available USB port on your computer.
2. Once the device appears on your desktop (you will see 2 new
drives - one called “No_Name” and the other “SecureGuard”), open
the computer’s main hard drive - the one containing your active sys-
tem folder.
3. Open the Applications folder, then the Utilities folder.
4. Double-click on the Disk Utilities icon to launch the program.
5. The window will contain two panes. In the left pane, single-click to
select the device named “SecureGuard Media”. You’ll see two items
with this name.
6. Click on the “Erase” tab, then select the “SecureGuard Media”
partition (see step 5 above) that is NOT 1.44MB in size (i.e., the
larger one of the two). Select the appropriate option for your system:
a. if you’re using the DiskGO! on both Mac and PCs, select MS-
DOS.
b. if using it on Mac only, select one of the MacOS options. We
recommend Mac Standard. If you format the 1.44MB partition using
MacOS Extended, your DiskGO! will not function properly; reformat
using MacOS Standard or MS-DOS.
c. Enter a label for your DiskGO! here, if necessary.
7. Once you’ve selected the option(s) you wish to use, click “Erase”
button. Once the Disk Utility is complete you may close Disk Utility
and begin using your DiskGO!
