Rohos Mini Drive password-protects a USB flash drive by creating a hidden and encrypted partition on the disk. If you have many private files on the USB drive and want to keep them secret, you can protect them with a password and strong encryption using Rohos Mini Drive. It also offers a portable encryption tool for working with an encrypted partition on any PC.
Easy to encrypt, easy to use. The intuitive USB flash drive Encryption Wizard automatically detects your USB flash drive and sets the properties for the encrypted partition. You just need to provide a password to protect it. With a single click, you can save your first file in a protected volume. Encryption is automatic and on-the-fly.
The software lets you easily encrypt files you copy to your USB memory by safeguarding them with an algorithm and password. Rohos Mini Drive is simple to use: just plug the USB drive to your system and enter the password you want to use to protect the data. You can also choose the file system to use (FAT, FAT32 and NTFS) and the encryption algorithm (Blowfish and 256-bit AES).
On the downside, we found some errors when trying to access the contents of the encrypted drive from the shortcut created by Rohos Mini Drive on the desktop. It worked perfectly when accessed from the drive created under "My Computer" though.
Notes: To access the hidden partition on a guest machine, run Rohos mini.exe from the USB flash drive and select the disk image from the _rohos directory on your USB Flash Drive. For Example: _rohos\rdisk0.rdi then enter the password and click the Connect Disk button:
