    Thanks, i found a version on my system i can use, but i dont want to. I have the new version and it should work. Please see my new thread for problems regarding 5.0 and see if you could replicate my big problem that i have. How hard does it really need to be to delete files?

    The process to create a new container is Oh so fast, its shot through the roof. Normally the speed is about 13mbs for me, but now its over 30mbs, for serpent which is awesome. but this delete thing has shot me down, and i cant believe this could happen.

    My old container (Serpent-AES, created with 4.3a) is working okay. I just deleted 4GB in a flash.

    Wow, sorry. :( Hopefully you won't have to remove all the files and create a new container. :blink:

    I'd like to use Serpent-AES for my system partition, but I'm worried about a performance impact -- I may use just Serpent or AES instead.

    i am trying out the WDE feature of TC 5 on a test machine

    everything went fine through the set up, the rescue CD was verified, then during the WDE pretest after entering my password successfully i received a message about 2 seconds later "insufficient memory for encryption"

    so needless to say it makes me abort the pretest & says i cant use the WDE feature. i have never had this problem when using PGP's WDE. any idea what to do?

    the test machine is running Vista Home Premium with 1GB RAM, it's also a laptop using shared memory with Intel's GPU.

    AMD Athlon XP 1500+
    640 mb ram
    40 GB SAMSUNG SV4012H

    You may be able to control the amount of shared RAM in the bios.

    Are you sure it is a problem of RAM? Can it be a problem of free hdd space? Maybe it's copying all data in an encrypted form (since the OS is still running)? How much of your disk is used/free?

    My test machine with 250go of disk have only windows installed inside..
    ...and 2Go of ram inside.
    I have found no option in the bios to change something related to memory usage.

    A quick look inside the code source show that this error message refere to memory usage ( a comparison with current code seg and a constant ), not drive space...

    Maybe a version 5.0a ...?

    i dont know for sure it's the RAM since the error message doesnt give more detail, but that is what "memory" seems to apply.

    highly doubt it's the HDD, although my C: has only about 3GB free space remaining PGP has no problems encrypting it.

    i hope alot more people show up with the problem so the TC devs can take a look at it (although if they keep their forums down how will they know?). it's probably just growing pains from finally having a huge new feature like WDE. the TC devs seem VERY cautious with WDE & are trying to avoid future support questions by making you jump through hoops to even install it (they require a rescue disk to be burned & verified, you have to go through WDE pretest).

    to anyone interested, i tryed to mount the rescue disk ISO with PowerISO to "trick" TC 5 into verifying it but it didnt work. obviously the TC devs have thought ahead & somehow made the ISO unmountable (has to be burned).

    Hi , all

    I'ts me again with new tests...

    TC WDE work fine on ... my four years old portable !!

    Funny no ?
    This packard bell portable have only 512mo of ram and a little disk of 30Go with only 1Go free... and 128Mo of the ram is shared for the video !!

    I've tried WDE on a second dell (full power version!) with 4Go of ram, 7800gtx, etc..etc.. and still not work....

    i am ganna try on a different PC also

    the beauty of it is, if WDE doesnt work no permanent damage is done. you can just continue using your PC as usual. so the "pretest" is actually a good thing. i would have hated to find out about this problem AFTER my C: had been encrypted.

    besides, it's a good idea to upgrade to 5.0 anyways for the security/speed enhancements. then just run the WDE pretest to find out if you "qualify".

    RE: "about 5 minutes into the encryption process TC gives me a CRC error and won't continue."

    Maybe TC encountered a bad disk sector? Can you run normal chkdsk first and see if it will block out any such sectors?

    Just a thought. And, yes, TC should trap bad sectors, handle them, and keep going.....

    Ran spinRite on the partition and found 1 bad sector, then TC was able to do it's thing.

    I'm testing TC5 on a 4GB XP install. It only took about 10 minutes to encrypt (AES, no wiping).

    I also tried to mount the encrypted system partition by booting another XP install and running TC5; no luck. I guess that means Bart PE can't be used to repair a damaged install.
