TrueCrypt, creating encrypted containers for secure data storage on hard or stick - video tutorial

Hi friends, in this video tutorial I will present TrueCrypt encryption software, this is an open source (super free) to help us create encrypted containers and default password that we store sensitive information, in the Romanian TrueCrypt help us ourselves safe in your virtual safe password.
TrueCrypt is an exceptional program for encryption, without any mistake can say is the most complete and stable software in its class, it is incredible that this software is free, and even more, it is open source!
Today I chose to create their container 500 MB on a USB stick, and then we put the portable version of TrueCrypt software on that USB stick that to we can immediately run on other computers that do not have TrueCrypt installed.
Encrypted container will be mounted to it can access (such DaemonTools mount ISO images) to mount the encrypted drive is very simple, you have to assign a letter then go to it to browse, finally we password will be required in the final container will be used as a regular partition, advanced options allow us to mount the container just read only, of course if you want it, in read only mode can not write (it) nothing in container and we can not erase anything.
TrueCrypt can be used to create containers in computer, instead of stick you can put the container in the computer.
Containers created with TrueCrypt can be moved anywhere (copy / paste) as long as they are not mounted in TrueCrypt, normally they are only containers…
CAREFUL
Just created encrypted container (I found another rhyme) must not have great size, encryption can take a long time here depends on each processor, those Sandy Bridge processor family have luck, this encryption platform is much fast, that thanks to better support for AES encryption.
In any case do not rush, encryption is only the beginning, that you expected only once to create the container.

1. As the total volume of a memory stick can be encrypted? The entire volume or a certain percentage of that amount?

2. You can send the wrong NE-encrypted in the encrypted first on our computer's hard drive by copying information that is introduced and then the encrypted partition? I mean directly from a partition in another, that memory stick?

What have if you install the software and see how's it going? Cadeau his hands or what? It's something you can not test? You need laboratoaresofisticate to see how it works?

You can encrypt all the stick
Yes, you can transfer this well-understood encrypted stick / partition directly if you mount it first ...

Look THIS clip and see if you have the Autplay function activated (click on the word THIS written in red) you have to check it, do the opposite of what I showed there, where I said to uncheck you check ...

It should also be added and that the container appears to be very fragmented. I would also recommend defragmenting file container that does not try too hard to HDD with writing and reading that file.

Hey, it's better to use antebare or can use TrueCrypt and otpiunile of 7-zip? eg far if I just yank something to hide folder or files stuffing all antrun archive parolat.Adrian what advice can you can use sami shi shi one another or is it sufficient to use TrueCrypt? Thank you in advance.

does not compare to 7-zip. you can use the password + key file (a text file, an mp3 song, an image .....) resulting in an encryption that by the brute force method would take millions of years until someone managed to break it.

You could do a tutorial on how to install Windows and how to do a certain hidden partition for recovery (eg, how come some laptops only C partition, but have a hidden partition where it can be a back-up) . Thank you.

How to install XP, Vista or 7 there long tutorial here on the site. And if you and good luck to have a Gigabyte motherboard, we have about XpressRecovery software, DVD software that comes on the motherboard and that allows you to make a hidden partition that can store a back-up
Write up in the search box on the right: how to install windows xp installation and optimization sp3 or Windows Vista (Windows 7 installing the same 7 them)
and for writing XpressRecovery tutorial in the search box: How to use the backup function of XpressRecovery Gigabyte, you enter and you will find the tutorial.
