![]() also on “safely remove hardware” it appears with letters on all partitions. Windows 10 assigns letters in some way that neither DiskPart nor Disk Management sees them, but registry keys are present on HKLM\SYSTEM\MountedDevices, so the “Format” message appears. On Windows 10 with USB stick that has UEFI boot and TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt partitions nothing works. And I had no problems mounting a TrueCrypt drive. Next time you pop in that USB drive, no more warning comes up. If you had changed the partition type already, you have to first bring it back again to set id=6Īnd that is it. To do that, before you set the partition type do list volume ![]() To prevent that, you need to remove the drive letter assignment on the disk too. But if you had previously assigned a drive letter to the partition, Windows 10 will still give you a "Format this Disk" dialog. But there are 2 parts to this as I have found out.įirst you do as SylikC says using diskpart set id=64 or choose from a wide range of partition types. You don't want to screw with your system, you want to indicate on the partition that it should not try mounting it. Select partition # <- your partition number hereĬredits are for and want to re-confirm the answer that SylikC has given. As Beeblebrox seems a bit outdated (last update of the Windows version in 2002) for newer Windows you can use internal diskpart. I will test it on Linux later, but I believe that'll prevent Linux from mounting it as well. I chose 0圆4 which (based on the partition lists available) is a "PC-ARMOUR encrypted partition".Īfter changing it and then unplugging and replugging your device (power cycle), Windows will treat this partition as foreign and will not attempt to mount it. Using a utility such as Beeblebrox (or your favorite RAW partition editor), change it to something else. This is a FAT partition, and Windows will always try to mount it. When you create a raw partition with TrueCrypt, it specifies it as partition type 0x06. With this solution device can't be accidentally formatted, when you plug it on another PC. ![]() I've tested this on Windows XP and Windows 7. ![]()
