hiya,

I have drive C as active partition installed with win-10-x64 home edition, and D rive that is encrypted by VeraCrypt(same as TrueCrypt encryption software). But unfortunately the deep freeze will freezes the D drive as well and even while I dismount the encrypted D partition before restart, after restart I see that every new files are erased even while the D drive is dismounted/closed the encryption container before restarting.

I checked the installed deep freeze by Deep freeze configuration administration and checked installed deep freeze's before installation .exe and .rdx files and in both I see that all other partitions unchecked for freezing, unless drive C as active OS partition. This is really strange as its happened after I encrypted the D partition with VeraCrypt. My surprise is when I see the closed/Dismounted partition D how get frozen internally, while after closing the contained(dismounting the partition/drive/device), no one should be able to read the inside of container/drive. The only possibility is that, deep freeze frozen the encrypted partition unwanted-ly and it load it each time I restart the laptop, so I lose ALL my valuable data after restart. May please help me fix this as soon as possible?

VeraCrypt version: latest portable version x64

Deep freeze version: Deep Freeze Enterprise 8.x

Windows version: win-10-x64 home edition

Partitions: C as Active and OS partition, and D as non frozen partition

I use veraCrypt portable from here: https://launchpad.net/veracrypt/trunk/1.23/+download/VeraCrypt%20Portable%201.23.exe Also based on information here: https://faronics.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/307/0/how-do-encryption-utilities-work-on-a-deep-freeze-windows-environment VeraCrypt(that is a updated version of TrueCrypt) is fully compatible with deep freeze. Considering date of post mentioned is '05 March 2013', we can conclude that even older version of deep freeze's should be able to fully work with veraCrypt . I attached a screenshot of my laptop hard disk partitions that is from computer management.

As I believe deep freeze preferences in windows is NTFS, my both drives in this hard disk, C and D, are in NTFS. I kept the encrypted partition unlocked/opened/mounted when I installed the deep freeze, so it should be able to see that while only drive C is requested to be frozen, it should leave drive D alone unfrozen, while it doesn't. My laptop hard disk brand is the latest version of Crucial SSD. I believe my laptop hdd is on GPT partition table. I uninstalled and reinstalled deep freeze many times, with hope to fix the issue, no success at all. May please advise me soon?

Thnx
