Anyone can plug it into their computer and read the data that is on it by default. Your data, inside a USB storage device, is not secure, meaning it is not encrypted.
#Veracrypt never save history how to
Today, I am not really going to be talking about use case for USB storage devices, but more how to keep your data safe while using them, and a maybe a few tips and tricks along the way. However, they still serve a great purpose in a variety of different circumstances.

I'm sure the "hidden" little partition has been deleted and the space recovered to one of the two partitions.With the rise in virtual cloud storage, portable USB storage devices may soon be going the way of the Dodo. Do you think I should do that, and reencrypt partiton 2 so that it overwrites what is there, then move everthing back from the backup drive? Will the authorization file still work after this move? I have an encrypted backup disk that I could move the data on partition 2 to. When I run chkdsk on the partition I do get the message "windows can't check the disk while it is in use.Force dismount?" (chkdsk checks the partition and finds no errors) I think the above mentioned app has an authorization file that reside on partition 2, so that might be it. However that app, which needs this library, as far as I know only starts up when I click it, but not a 100% sure. One of these installs default to C: but I have moved it to partition 2. Not entirely sure, there are some sample libraries. Partition 2 has a capacity of 168GB and has 58GB of data on it.

It has a drive letter and shows NTFS healthy in Acronis Disk Director, but so does partition 1 which is the windows partition. Partition 2 apears to be a windows partitons. Except that of course partition 2 wouldn't encrypt and I got that error message. I should mention that I had both partitions encrypted as a system drive in one go, but I was advised to seperate them, so when decrypted I moved the boot files inside the system partion, then encrypted one partition at a time. The path shows in the the box just above where it says "Never save history" I can go through the whole setup process on that partition after clicking "create new volume" from the volumes menu, but when it comes time to encrypt I get the error message. If I click "select device" I can choose it as partiton 2 of hardisk 0 but it does not show up in a slot. You likely read about it during the move process.Ĭlick to expand.Partition 2 does not show up in the TC control panel (I assume you mean the main window). Hopefully you will know what I mean about the hidden part. Have you gone into disk management and made absolutely certain that any "hidden" little partition has been deleted and the space recovered to one of the two partitions. Note: you mentioned that you moved the boot files - good idea. If it doesn't consider re-doing the data partition as described above. If you use check disk and windows shows all clean and "fixed" then TC should work on a 2 partition disk such as you described.

How much data is on that drive (rhetorical question)? Depending upon your answer, it might pay to move the data to elsewhere and then reformat the partition so you have a clean slate.ĭo you have your system disk actively "pointed" at the data partition? Not to be confusing, but is there something on the data partition that is necessary for windows to access for mounting the system disk? The answer likely will be no, but there are folks with exceptions for various reasons. Have you tried using Windows to verify the data partition's filesystem/drive sectors are OK? Drive letter - Properties - Tools - check disk looking for any repairs needed. Is the data partition a normal windows filesystem? Likely NTFS but Fat32 would be fine as well.

When you bring up the TC control panel can you select the second partition as a device based volume candidate? Then can you even start the process of creating a volume? As a trial will TC allow you to create a small "testing only here" file based volume on that partition?
