    When you create a whole partition on a USB Key, is your key still readeable by Windows ? Can I read the space who is not allowed to VeraCrypt? I always receive the message " THE DISK MUST BE FORATTED"
    Merci

    I think, you should distinguish between encrypted partition and encrypted device. To me, it seems that you encrypted the entire device despite a single partition. Now, it's common for Windows to complain about such devices, needing to initialize them. If you push the wrong button, you would damage the volume. That's why it's better for inexperienced users to use encrypted partitions instead.
