Yes, virtual TrueCrypt volumes (in contrast to TrueCrypt-encrypted physical system partitions/drives) are independent of the operating system. You will be able to mount your TrueCrypt volume on any computer on which you can run TrueCrypt (see also the question "Can I use TrueCrypt on Windows if I do not have administrator privileges?").

Yes, TrueCrypt volumes are independent of the operating system. However, you need to make sure your operating system installer does not format the partition where your TrueCrypt volume resides.

Yes. However, if you need to mount a TrueCrypt volume that is stored on a read-only medium (such as a CD or DVD) under Windows 2000, the file system within the TrueCrypt volume must be FAT (Windows 2000 cannot mount an NTFS file system on read-only media).

File containers are normal files so you can work with them as with any normal files (file containers can be, for example, moved, renamed, and deleted the same way as normal files). Partitions/drives may be better as regards performance. Note that reading and writing to/from a file container may take significantly longer when the container is heavily fragmented. To solve this problem, defragment the file system in which the container is stored (when the TrueCrypt volume is dismounted).

In encrypted data, one corrupted bit usually corrupts the whole ciphertext block in which it occurred. The ciphertext block size used by TrueCrypt is 16 bytes (i.e., 128 bits). The mode of operation used by TrueCrypt ensures that if data corruption occurs within a block, the remaining blocks are not affected. Due to hardware or software errors/malfunctions, files stored on a TrueCrypt volume may become corrupted.

The maximum possible size of a TrueCrypt volume is 8589934592 GB. However, due to security reasons, the maximum allowed volume size is 1 PB (1,048,576 GB), as the amount of data that is considered secure to be encrypted using a single key depends, among other factors, on the block size of the encryption algorithm. In addition, you need to take into account other limiting factors.

File system within a TrueCrypt volume may become corrupted in the same way as any normal unencrypted file system. When that happens, you can use filesystem repair tools supplied with your operating system to fix it. In Windows, it is the 'chkdsk' tool. TrueCrypt provides an easy way to use this tool on a TrueCrypt volume: First, make a backup copy of the TrueCrypt volume (because the 'chkdsk' tool might damage the filesystem even more) and then mount it.

Right-click the 'Computer' (or 'My Computer') icon on your desktop or in the Start Menu and select Manage. The 'Computer Management' window should appear.

Yes, but not directly. You can create a hidden TrueCrypt volume in which you later place a disk image containing an installed operating system that you run (boot) under virtual-machine software, such as Virtual PC, VirtualBox, or VMware (VirtualBox OSE is free and open-source; Virtual PC and some editions of VMware are free). That way, you can have Windows installed in a hidden volume.

The DVD burning software you use should allow you to select the format of the DVD. If it does, select the UDF format (ISO format does not support files larger than 2 GB).

TrueCrypt does not contain any mechanism or facility that would allow partial or complete recovery of your encrypted data without knowing the correct password or the key used to encrypt the data. The only way to recover your files is to try to "crack" the password or the key, but it could take thousands or millions of years depending on the length and quality of the password/keyfiles, on software/hardware efficiency, and other factors.

Yes, TrueCrypt-encrypted volumes are like normal disks. You provide the correct password (and/or keyfile) and mount (open) the TrueCrypt volume. When you double click the icon of the video file, the operating system launches the application associated with the file type – typically a media player. The media player then begins loading a small initial portion of the video file from the TrueCrypt-encrypted volume to RAM (memory) in order to play it.

Remark: to "wipe" = to securely erase; to overwrite sensitive data in order to render them unrecoverable. If you believe that an adversary will be able to decrypt the volume (for example that he will make you reveal the password), then the answer is yes. Otherwise, it is not necessary, because the volume is entirely encrypted.

A hidden volume can be mounted the same way as a standard TrueCrypt volume: Click Select File or Select Device to select the outer/host volume (important: make sure the volume is not mounted). Then click Mount, and enter the password for the hidden volume. Whether the hidden or the outer volume will be mounted is determined by the entered password (i.e.

Yes, TrueCrypt volumes behave like real physical disk devices, so it is possible to use any filesystem checking/repairing/defragmenting tools on the contents of a mounted TrueCrypt volume.

First of all, it might be an idea to check that your kernel understands NTFS. The command below will give a list of all the filesystems that Linux understands. If you see ntfs, then you are OK. Also it might be a good idea to read the mount manual, man 8 mount. cat /proc/filesystems Next you need to create a place to mount the NTFS Volume. Then you can mount it.

You could either use the console or use mount directly. For console, refer to the user's guide. # mount -t ocfs2 /dev/sdX /dir The above command will mount device /dev/sdX on directory /dir.

First of all, it might be an idea to check that your kernel understands NTFS. The command below will give a list of all the filesystems that Linux understands. If you see "ntfs", then you are OK. Also it might be a good idea to read the mount manual, "man 8 mount". To alter the permissions of the mounted filesystem, see the "umask" option. If you would like to have the volume mounted automatically at boot time, see How do I mount an NTFS Volumes automatically.

Head Lice Cure comes in a kit with 4 - 16oz. containers of the solution. This may seem like a lot of product

Yes. The entire file system within a TrueCrypt volume is encrypted (including file names, folder names, and contents of every file). This applies to both types of TrueCrypt volumes – i.e., to file containers (virtual TrueCrypt disks) and to TrueCrypt-encrypted partitions/devices.

When you run TrueCrypt in traveler mode, TrueCrypt needs to load and start the TrueCrypt device driver. TrueCrypt needs a device driver to provide transparent on-the-fly encryption/decryption, and users without administrator privileges cannot start device drivers in Windows. Therefore, Windows Vista asks you for permission to run TrueCrypt with administrator privileges.

The text of the license is contained in the file License.txt that is included in the TrueCrypt binary and source code distribution packages, and is also available at www.truecrypt.org/license.php. Yes, there is. If you have not done so yet, upgrade to TrueCrypt 4.2a or later. Run TrueCrypt and make sure the option 'Never save history' in the main window is enabled.

Unfortunately, TrueCrypt does not support this. Resizing a TrueCrypt partition using a program such as PartitionMagic will, in most cases, corrupt its contents. Note: Full support for Windows Vista was introduced in version 4.3. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not run TrueCrypt 4.2a or earlier versions under Windows Vista (those versions were not designed to run on Windows Vista). Yes. Note: All .sys and .

Once you are happy with your mount command, you can teach Linux how to mount the volume automatically by adding a line to /etc/fstab (filesystem table). Don't worry about the meaning of the 0 0 on the end. mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro 0 0 Here we've transformed "-r" into the equivalent "-o ro".

As an example, if the Server name is "Corporate" and the Volume name is "Public", you would enter the following information in your Server shortcut:

Spinpro supplies a template, hardware, and directions showing how to cut the 5 holes in the bottom of your container and bolt the feeder on. All Spinpro feeders can be mounted to the same hole pattern.

Yes, it will. We will never create a commercial version of TrueCrypt, as we believe in open-source and free security software.
