If Windows asks you to restart the computer, do so. The 'Computer Management' window should appear. 2) In the 'Computer Management' window, select 'Storage' > 'Disk Management'. 3) Right-click the partition you want to encrypt and select either 'Delete Partition', or 'Delete Volume', or 'Delete Logical Drive'. 4) Click 'Yes'. To do so, follow these steps: 1) Right-click the 'Computer' (or 'My Computer') icon in the 'Start Menu' and select 'Manage'. Formatting the device/partition would very likely cause data corruption and system instability. To solve this issue, we recommend that you first delete the partition and then recreate it without formatting. The file system may be in use by the operating system. + Error: The device/partition contains a file system that could not be dismounted. Therefore, exit the TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard (if it is still running) and then start it again. 8) Try encrypting the device/partition again. If TrueCrypt repeatedly fails to encrypt the device/partition, you may want to consider creating a file container instead. In the same wizard, click 'Next' and then 'Finish'. 7) Note that the device path you have selected in TrueCrypt may be wrong now. On the wizard page entitled 'Format Partition', select either 'Do not format this partition' or 'Do not format this volume'. Then repeat the steps 1 and 2 and continue from the step 5. 5) Right-click the unallocated/free space area and select either 'New Partition', or 'New Simple Volume', or 'New Logical Drive'. 6) The 'New Partition Wizard' or 'New Simple Volume Wizard' window should appear now follow its instructions.

The first track of a boot drive typically contains a system loader or boot manager. Your TrueCrypt Rescue Disk contains a backup of the original content of the first drive track (made before the TrueCrypt Boot Loader was written to it) and allows you to restore it if necessary. The windows dvd won't work as they can't read encryted data.Īlso you won't be able to have a fully vanilla mbr.As you can't wipe out the mbr out complety as that will get rid of disk partitions for the drive and such.
