97 - Write-protect or make a CD/DVD partition on a Flash Driveusing SMI_UFDiskUtilities

Introduction

You can buy a Flash Drive with a write-protect switch - e.g. Kanguru SS3 USB 3.0 Flash Drive (Amazon) or some of thePQI Flash drives.

If your USB Flash Drive (UFD) has a Silicon Motion Inc. (SMI) controller inside it (such as many of the UFDs from Lexar),then you can use the SMI_UFDiskUtilitiesapplication (hereafter called SMIUFD.exe) to make a CD/DVD partition,write-protectthe mass storage area, or even split the mass storage area into two and password protect and hide the 2ndarea.

Main SMI.exe menu

If you have one a compatible UFD (such as a Lexar JumpDrive), here are some of the very useful things you can do withthis utility

Split it into a read-only CDROM device and a read/write flash drive1.Create a secret hidden r/w area which can be accessed via a password2.Change the physical size reported by the UFD - this is useful if you want to have a 256MB UFD to use on an oldBIOS that does not like large UFDs

3.

Write-protect the UFD4.

Some more advanced SMI controller reprogramming tools can be found here. Use these with caution! You must set upall the Settings fields before you reprogram (password is 320) and you may destroy your USB flash drive!

TestedUFDs

SMIcontrollerUFDs that

work with

SMI_UFDiskUtilities.exe

Lexar FireFly JumpDrive VID = 05DC PID = A731Lexar JDVE 16GB VID=05DC PID=A795Lexar 4GB (with capacity meter) VID = 05DC PID = A788

UFDs with an SMI controller that don't work

Lexar 16Gb VID = 05DC PID = A010 (slide button with blue XLEDin LeXar logo)Netac U2C 512MB VID = 0DD8 PID = F607Microsoft 1GB 'Freebie' VID = 090C PID = 1000Lexar 512Mb JD Secure VID = 05DC PID = A701

Note: Many other UFDs were tested which did not have SMIcontrollers and they all did not work: e.g. Kingston, HP, Corsair,Patriot, many unbranded ones, Maxell, SanDisk, Intenso,Verbatim, Pretec.

Some important notes before you begin

SMI_UFDiskUtilities_1.0.0.2.exe works on XP through to Windows8. Note: different versions work with different USB controllers - tryboth older and newer versions if this one does not work on yourflash drive.

Close all applications and save all work before using thisutility!

IMPORTANT: If you do not have a suitable SMI UFD present, then the utility will 'freeze' your system- themouse pointer and keyboard will freeze and only CTRL-ALT-DEL will work, and as you have no mouse you cannotquit the utility to regain control! So it is very important that you check that you have an SMI controller in your UFDand that it is connected first before you run the utility!

Check you have an SMI controller inside your UFD using ChipGenius (included with the download)

When quitting the application - there is a bug and it does not quit correctly when you click the cross at the top-right(sometimes this isn't even displayed!). To quit the utility, double-click on the Kill_SMI_UFDisk.cmdfile provided inmy download.

I recommend you right-click on the .exe file and set the properties to XP SP3 compatibility mode and Privilege Levelto Administrator

5/12

IMPORTANT: Ensure you only have one external USB drive connectedat a time - you could accidentally formator destroy a different drive!

VERY IMPORTANT: I cannot accept any responsibility if anything goes wrong! I did not develop these utilities andthey could make your UFD completely unusable! I suggest you first try it on a spare (non-essential) PC or notebookfirst!

Functions in the Utility

Here is an example of what you will see if you have used this utility to format an 8GB Lexar Jumpdrive UFD to have aPublic and Security Disk as well as a CDROM partition.

Example of the 'Write Protect' form

The 7 buttons are:

Write Protect - can set one or more 'disks' on the UFD to a WP status1.Partition - can divide the UFD into to 'disks', one public and one secure2.Login / Logout- allows a user to login and use the secure partition3.Change Pwd- changes the password required by 'Login'4.PC Lock- ????5.AutoRun - divides the UFD into a storage area and a read-only CDROM area6.BootDisk - will format the public storage area and copy MS-DOS files to it7.

I will explain what each of the 7 buttons do in detail below:

Write Protect

This allows you to Write Protect one or both of the mass storage 'disks'. If you start with a UFD that has never been usedwith this utility before and just contains one normal partition, this will allow you to write p rotect it. To remove the writeprotection status, re-run the utility and set the radio button to Enable. Note that no password is required, so anyone canun-write-protect the 'disk(s)'. The CDROM/DVD 'disk' is always write-protected.If you have split the storage area into a public and secure area, you can write-protect one or both areas.

Partition


5 of 12 10/22/2015 12:37


6/12

Note that this is an 8GB UFD, but 4.5GB were allocated to the CDROM 'disk' partition

This button allows you to partition the current flash memory flash disk area into two 'disks'. One is public and will be seenas the only UFD when the UFD is first inserted into any system. Note that this also affects the Physical Size of the device -so Windows Explorer (and RMPrepUSB) will report a 3GB device if you have made the public disk 3GB in size. If a userruns the SMIUFD.exe application and Logs in with the correct password (see below), then the public 'disk' will disappearand be replaced by the 'secure' disk (you may need to click F5 in Windows Explorer to see the new files (if any). ThePhysical Device Size reported by Windows or any application will now be the size of the 'secure disk' - e.g. 1GB. Youcannot boot from the 'secure disk' because as soon as you remove power from the UFD, the 'public disk' will be shown

when power is next applied.

Set the Volume names that you want for each of the 'disks' in the boxes provided before you click on the Partition button.

If you have set a password, you will be prompted for it - this prevents unauthorised users from deleting any files in the'secure disk'.If you are unsure of the password - try 0000 (four Zero's).Note: You cannot use a blank password - if you attempted to remove the password by leaving it blank in the Change Pwdfunction, then you will not be able to partition the UFD - go back to the Change Pwd functions and set a new password(leave the 'Old Password' field empty to change the password)!

If the Copy Exe file after Partitioncheckbox is ticked, then the SMI_UFDiskUtilities_1.0.0.2.exefile will be copied to the'Public disk' after it(they) have been formatted. This allows a user to run the utility to gain access to the 'secure disk' area.

If you already have a CDROM 'disk' defined, then the remaining memory will be used for the public and securedisks.If you already have public and secure disks, you can reformat and remove the secure disk by moving the slider fullyto the left.If you want to remove the CDROM 'disk' completely, use the AutoRun button.

Note: Some old BIOSes will not boot from 'large' UFD devices. They may boot from UFD devices that are 256MB (orpossibly 512MB or 1GB). If you have such an old BIOS, you can test this splitting your UFD into a 256MB 'public' disk andthe rest as the 'secure disk'. Then prepare the UFD with RMPrepUSB to make it bootable and see it it boots. If it does,repeat but make a 512MB 'public disk' and test that - if it still works try 1 GB 'public disk'. I have seen several Intel945/845/830 chipset BIOSes which had a 512MB limit and I have also heard of some BIOSes refusing to 'see' any UFDover 1GB.

Login / Logout

This allows you to Login, which will then replace the 'public disk' with the 'secure disk'. You will also see the hint phrasethat you set previously as a reminder of the password. Note that Logout does not seem to work! To get access to the'public disk' area again, you will need to remove the UFD and re-plug it.Once you Login, the 'public disk' volume in Windows Explore will be replaced by the 'secure disk' volume - you may need

to hit F5 to refresh the contents in Explorer when this occurs.

7/12

This allows you to change the password and set a hint phrase. This is required if you have split the UFD into a 'public disk'and a 'secure disk'. You cannot login with a blank password.

PC Lock

Locks the UFD. If removed and re-inserted it will be locked. To unlock, run the utility and choose UnLock. (I could not getthis to work!)

AutoRun

This badly-named button actually allows you to split the UFD into a pseudo-optical drive and a flash memory area bymoving the slider. Set a path to an ISO file (not a folder) in the ISO File Path box (you can browse using the folder icon).Click on the Make button to reformat the entire UFD into two disks, one for mass storage and one for the CDROM.You can use a DVD ISO or CDROM ISO - for instance a Windows 8 Installation ISO will work. If there is an autorun.inf filein the root, then XP will autorun when you insert the USB pen into a USB port (this is suppressed on Vista/Win7/8).

Windows Explorer will show two devices, a removable mass storage device (e.g. K:) and a CDROM device (e.g. L:). Notethat if you previously had a 'public disk' and a 'secure disk' - these will both be destroyed when you format the UFD with'Autoruns'. If you want a CDROM+public disk+secure disk, then you must first use the AutoRun button and then use thePartitions button.

IMPORTANT: Before you click the Make button, you must first set a CDROM Size that is largerthan the size of the ISOfile- after you click on Make, the CDROM disk size will be automatically reduced to the smallest possible size, dependantupon the size of the ISO that you picked.

You can then boot from this CDROM disk as if it was a USB CD/DVD device (e.g. Windows 8 installation DVD). The BiosBoot Selection screen will list two devices (usua lly both have the same name - e.g. "USB: Lexar JD FireFly"). You willhave to guess which one is the CD device! This may also be useful for testing out any ISO files you have, without needingto actually burn a CD/DVD.

To remove the CDROM disk area and return the UFD to be a normal mass storage device, move the slider to the extremeleft and do not set an ISO File Path and then click Make - note that this may produce an error because there is no ISO filespecified - the error can be ignored. All data on the entire UFD will be destroyed when you do this.

You may need to use the Kill_SMI_UFDisk.cmdscript to quit the utility!

BootDisk

This button allows you to format and transfer files to the 'public disk' area - it expects you to point it at a folder or drivecontaining MS-DOS floppy disk files. You will see a warning if it does not detect the MS-DOS system files in the folder youselect. The file SMI_UFDiskUtilities_1.0.0.2.exewill also be c opied to the public disk.

Note that the volume created will contain an MS-DOS Volume Boot Record and expect to be booted as a floppy disk (soyou will need to set the BIOS that you boot it from to boot from a USB Floppy device!). For this reason this option is of

limited use for most people. The volume will still appear as a 'Removable Disk' in Windows Explorer (and not as a floppydrive).

ChipGenius and FlashGenius

ChipGeniouswill identi fy what type of Flash device you have and wha t controller and flash memory c hips it contains.

IMPORTANT: before you start any tests, take a screenshot of the ChipGenius data for your USB flash drive and keep thefile. This tells you the original VID\PID and serial number, etc. These will be erased if you use a Mass Production (MP) toolto reprogram your USB device!

FlashGeniusjust displays i nformation about the type of flas h memory for any specfic flash memory part number (if it is inthe database). Look at the Flash memory part number displayed by ChipGenius - e.g. MT29F64G08TAA - and enter this inthe Part Number box:
