How to create encrypted partition on DVD/CD
Start Master Voyager.
You see the list of available CDROM drives and connected USB Flash Drives. When you see [EMPTY] text it means that media is not present in CDROM drive/USB Card Reader.
Click the CDROM icon.
Master Voyager opens the compact disc and reads previous session. Master Voyager supports multisession discs.
When the disc is opened you see the available operations.
Please look at "Secure Media Partitions on I:" frame. You see two icons there "Partition Manager" and "Public Area". Partition Manager creates secure partitions (protected by password) on CD/DVD/USB Stick. "Public Area" is section on media containing files/folders available for everyone. The public area also contains autoplay module of Mobile Voyager (Mobile Voyager is the part of Master Voyager, located on your protected media).
Click "Partition Manager" button to create new secure partition.
The blue bar is the public area of CD (now it has no any disk label) and total size of the media. In our case it is DVD-RW disc 4.38gb. It is empty disc.
Let's create new secure partition.
Click "New..." button and type partition name and the disk label of the new partition. Disk Label will be visible in system when you open secure partition (it will be available to all programs as virtual hard drive).
Enable or disable "Open partition on AutoPlay" checkbox. When checked, the password for this secure partition will be automatically asked on inserting CD into CDROM drive. When not checked, the password will not be asked but it will still be possible to open the secure partition from context menu of Mobile Voyager icon (located in the tray notification area).
As you can see on this picture, the new green bar has been added and the blue bar's size has been reduced. The icon of the green bar is semitransparent, it means that this new secure partition is just virtual (not physically created yet). You also can see new Apply button. This button will create partition.
You can click "New..." button multiple times if you need to create several secure partitions with different passwords. Master Voyager assigned name "My Documents #1" for this new partition. "SECUREPART" is the label of the future virtual disk. Every secure partition will be mounted as virtual hard drive every time when you enter password. And this disklabel will be the label of the virtual hard drive in mounted state.
The size of new partition is 2,19GB. It has not burned to CD yet.
But before clicking Apply button, we can change some parameters. Click ... button to rename partition, or resize the partition using your mouse. See the following picture for example:
Ok. We've just resized partition and new size is 1,12GB.
Click ... button and rename the partition and change the disk label.
Now click Apply button to create the partition.
Please note, when you create new partition on a Compact Disc, Master Voyager creates its disk image in the temporary folder on your HDD firstly. You will then need to burn all changes to the CD when you are ready. After burning, all temporary files will be removed from your HDD automatically.
When the Apply button is pressed, Master Voyager asks you to assign the password for the new partition.
In the evaluation version it is allowed to enter "123" password only. In the registered version it is allowed to use any password up to 32 characters in the length. This password will be used to encrypt whole securepartition using AES256 bit encryption algorithm. It is enough secure for any purpose.
It will require several minutes to wait..
New secure partition is being created.
Click Close button to close Partition Manager.
Now you've just created new secure partition on your DVD-RW disc. But currently the disk image of the partition is located in temporary folder of your hard drive. But before burning the partition to your CD/DVD, we need to add sensitive files to the secure partition.
