There is lots of software available, but TrueCrypt is Free, comprehensive, multi-platform and easy to use. but backup with TrueCrypt is not good idea so for backup there you better use Norton Ghost. Where TrueCrypt provides truly encryption solution so for more details see http://www.techarena.in/guide/12587-truecrypt-freeware-encryption-program.htm I was searching for encryption solution where i found relatively simple solution which is the data encryption software called TrueCrypt.

Considering 64bit and 128bit encryptions take a few days to a few weeks to crack(depending on your system). A 256 could take years, but TrueCrypt uses 3 separate 256bit algorithms. Even with Government super computers it would be beyond anybody's lifetime before it get's cracked. Just be careful because a lot of standard programs cache files you've visited negating the purpose of an encrypted file I agree, TrueCrypt is an amazing tool that other than the simple fact of leaving some traces behind, is nearly impossible to crack.

That will allow you to hide specific drives. I've been using TrueCrypt for 2 years now. Best encryption utility I've found so far. Used it on Windows so far, am about to try it on Linux.

And am still facinated by the mounting of hidden and encrypted devices. I was wondering though if one chooses to format the entire drive, windows recognises this drive as unformatted and requests you to format it if you ever select the device. Is there any way of hiding your drive completly from windows and having only truecrypt recognise it?

If found that I had to change extended partition to primary partition so that TrueCrypt can format the device (150Gb partition) as NTFS. Otherwise, it can only format the extended partition as FAT. Why is that? Curious. I have a 160 Gb external HD used only for storage on the go – 10 gb primary partition and 150 Gb extended partition.

I guess I'll be trying TrueCrypt very soon. I see you've learned that you will meet all kinds when you take on a project such as this. Never mind the clowns who haven't yet figured out that it's much harder to learn a foreign language than to learn manners and proper decorum. (Apparently they failed that manners course, too). You do much better in English than I would do if I tried writing this in your native language. Thanks for the interesting and helpful article. I guess I’ll be trying TrueCrypt very soon.

Thanks for sharing. To the people who find fault with the spelling or grammar, I say get a grip! Not everyone in the world has English as their first language (though it tends to be used on Web pages disproportionately) and one must understand the value of getting something valuable for essentially no cost. If you pay for it then you have a right to complain, if not I suggest you offer helpful advice rather than criticism. Thank you Martin for your article. It was most helpful. Excellent article.
