Create a Hidden Partition on USB Flash Drive

| Sunday, August 21, 2011
There are many ways and tools to hide or protect data on a USB Flash Drive.Some of these tools create a file container of desired size which can then be mounted using a password.Some other tools encrypt the data.Another option is to zip or rar the important data with a password.

However, I am not very comfortable with the above methods of protecting or hiding data.

    File Containers and Encrypted Files can be deleted
    Password protected compressed files attract attention
    Data is lost when the USB Flash Drive is formatted

To overcome the above problems you can create a hidden partition on your USB Drive.

The main advantage of this method is that the Hidden Partition and the data in it stays on the USB Drive even after formatting your USB Drive.
