After you configure the file search options, Private Disk File Move will ask you to customize the encrypted disk that will be created.
The following fields must be filled in: Full Path, Drive Letter, Password.
| 1. | The Full Path field contains the path to the encrypted image and its file name. You can use the Browse button to navigate your file system and choose a folder. |
| 2. | Choose the letter that will be assigned to the drive from the Drive letter control. |
| 3. | Press Password and enter the password to the encrypted drive, then confirm it. |
After you press OK, the Configure new private disk settings will change.
| 5. | Press Options if you wish to further refine your settings. |
The following encrypted disk settings can be configured:
| • | Removable Disk – the encrypted disk will be detected as a removable disk by the system; |
| • | Hidden File-Image – the encrypted image will be hidden; |
| • | Read Only Disk - the encrypted image will be read only; |
| • | Save and restore shares automatically - you can share folders on the encrypted disk and customize their access settings; if this option is checked, the shared access settings will be preserved next time the encrypted disk is mounted; |
| • | Quick create - the encrypted disk will not be filled with random data (this is faster); |
| • | Customize disk format options - you will be offered to choose additional settings when the new encrypted disk will be formatted; |
| • | Delete original files after copying them to the private disk - the files that are copied to the encrypted drive will be deleted. The following options apply: None - the files will be deleted quickly, Fill with the same character - the original files will be removed, their previous location will be filled with some predefined data, Fill with random characters - the files will be removed and their previous location will be overwritten with random data (this is the most secure way to delete a file). |
| • | Abort on any file copy error - if an error occurs during the file transfers, the disk creation process will be interrupted. |
Press ОК to save your settings.
To start creating a new encrypted disk, press Next.
Note. If the selected image file already exists, you will be asked whether you want to overwrite it, or append data to the existing image. Pressing Cancel will interrupt the operation. Please be careful when overwriting an existing image - this will make its old contents unavailable.
