CD + Secure HDD & Password Security
About CD + Secure HDD
Your Toshiba Drive uses an advanced partition scheme called  
CD + Secure HDD.  The Drive was specially prepared at the factory 
with two partitions. As the name suggests, one is the CD partition; 
the other is Secure HDD (Hard Disk Drive) partition. 
When the Drive mounts to your computer, it mounts two volumes. 
The CD partition mounts just like a CD-ROM volume, and it will 
appear in My Computer under Devices with Removable Storage. 
It is a read-only partition that takes up only about 4 Megabytes.

the CD partition is to store the Password Security software.
The hard disk drive partition of your Toshiba Drive is used to store 
your data. It is a standard hard disk drive partition that mounts to 
your system just like any other normal hard disk drive volume.
