Drives that have been created, however, will remain and be accessible by reinstalling the program and creating the

Q: After launching Samsung SecretZone, it's not possible to open previously generated image files (msr) or
executable files (exe). A: Older volume image files (msr) must be
converted into image files (msr) using the update tool. Executable files (exe), however, cannot be
converted using the update tool. Use an older version of the program to convert
the executable file (exe) into an image file (msr) and then convert the image file
(msr) using the update tool.
