[QUESTION] Are You Familiar With Encrypted Hidden Volumes?
« on: April 30, 2012, 07:34:22 am »
 :o Hello Humans,
I am the RunawayRocketboy and this is my 1st post, I am new to this forum and I have a question for those familiar with TrueCrypt. I am having a problem with my hidden volume file I just created.

The problem: I am trying to save sensitive information in the folder system I created with this program. I created the folder system with a .txt extension and 2 GB of memory space. Unfortunately I keep getting these two "errors":

#1 When I am trying to save something into this folder, I select myvolume.txt file (Which is the hidden volume file/folder I've created) and it automatically unselect and gives me the option to to save it into its parent folder. Example, I am about to save a picture on myvolume folder that's inside myPrivateInfo, that's inside D: Disk, so I select D:Disk first, then myPrivateInfo folder to get to the right path, once I'm inside myPrivateInfo I select myvolume.txt to open it up and save the desire info, but it doesn't open at all, it automatically unselects myvolume.txt and stay in the current folder which is myPrivateInfo. So that means that I can't save that inside my encrypted hidden volume. It saves it into myPrivateInfo which is not password-protected and not what I want. Any Idea?

#2 When I try to open myvolume.txt it opens up notepad and I get this pop-up message: "the C:\\users\folder\folder123\myvolume.txt is too large for notepad."

use another editor to edit the file


Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks guys!

dunno about #1, but #2 is very wrong. You cannot open it with a notepad, because it's not a text file (duh)... you must open it with TrueCrypt.

Try knocking the .txt extension off the end of the filename and mount it using Truecrypt. It might just be that your PC is getting confused by the .txt extension somewhere along the line.
