If you have a
USB drive
you can carry quite a bit of information around on it. Documents, passwords, bookmarks, and more. If you have something like
PortableApps
installed on it you could have even more information. It might be wise to
encrypt your USB drive
just in case you lose it. A Internet tutorial by butterscotch.com.
@codelyokoblue You wouldn't be able to. Think about it. Bacon and egg situation, kind of.
You'd have to make a container ON the pendrive, and have a portable version of TC stored on their with it.

Now, if you encrypt an entire volume without more than one partition on a Macintosh, will you be able to decrypt it on a Windows given that it has TrueCrypt installed on it?

when you encrypt a usb flash drive with TrueCrypt 7 how do you download Truecrypt 7 in the flash drive to use on any computer without having to install truecrypt on the computer?

I think some users are running into the this. When you fully encrypt the entire drive as shown here in the video, the next time you plug in your drive, your computer doesn't recognize it and will prompt you to format it. If you're not careful or accidentally hit OK on the format popup, then guess what?? your data is gone! For a novice, you're better off just spending the $20 to get an 8GB encrypted Kingston data locker drive with all that already built in. How much is your data worth?

@The4buster I believe you do pretty much the same thing, except when selecting the file you wish to encrypt, select the bottom option, and not the middle.
