Removing b0rked drive letters?
« on: February 24, 2008, 04:21:10 pm »


In a nutshell, the only way I've found to remove those drives is to reboot. They don't show up in Disk Management, TrueCrypt can't force-unmount them, and they just kinda sit there and don't do anything. :(

What can I doo?!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Eventually I run out of letters to mount with... so that's a no.

Shrug. It randomly fixed itself. The geek in me wants to recreate the problem and find out how I fixed it... but for now, whatever. :)

EDIT -- Got it. Thank you, warrior. mountvol K: /D gave me a The system cannot find the file specified error, but that's good I guess -- the drive removed itself from the list.

On NTFS, can't you mount to a folder?

Basically, what I'm reading is that TrueCrypt works like DoubleSpace did?  By creating a virtual hard drive based on a single file?

Why don't you use BitLocker?

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

You can also encrypt entire system/non-system partitions. Yes.

I am simply toying with different encryption programs. From what I have looked into, BitLocker does partitions only. I'm toying with file containers right now, and will move into that soon enough.
