<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide technology for preventing other users from accessing a storage area allocated to each user when a plurality of users share a storage device externally attachable to a host computer. <P>SOLUTION: This storage device is removably connectable to the host computer and comprises storage areas allocated to the plurality of users respectively. When authentication success information indicating that the user's authentication was successful is received from the host computer or the other external device, the storage device limits access from the host computer by simulatively mounting the storage area allocated to the user and unmounting the storage areas allocated to the other users. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
