Greetings oh gods of technology. Question using Truecrypt (2)

1 Name: Anonymous : 2011-10-22 04:15 ID:SX8tGoUp

I have done something wrong and I come to you for advice.

I installed Truecrypt on my computer, my tinfoil hat worries that secret government agencies will use it to overthrow my freedom or something. Actually, it seemed like fun.

So. I have a 1 terabite harddrive, brand new. I put a 10 gig partition for the false OS. I installed an OS on it and started up truecrypt. I copied over about 100 gigs of files onto the other partition for the false folder as instructed. It then copied over the 10 gigs of space with the OS onto the second partition and then deleted the original partition with the original OS as instructed. Then I restarted the computer and installed windows then downloaded truecrypt and encrypted it per instructions.

Restarted the computer. everything works perfectly. I can access both the false OS and the hidden OS perfectly.

I only have 10 gigs of space to work with on either OS.

Where is the other 950+ gigs? There is a partition that shows up on My Computer when running the true (hidden) OS but if I try and access it it tells me it's not formatted. Attempting to format it brings up an error because Truecrypt will only allow any non truecrypt folder to be Read Only.

What the hell man? Did I miss a step somewhere? Am I forced to restart and increase the size of my false OS to some ridiculous amount like 300 gigs just so I get 300 gigs of space on my true drive?

It took 9 hours to get this far of waiting for Truecrypt to encrypt these drives, copy files, etc. I don't want to go through that again if there's a solution.

figured out a solution that would work.
