Truecrypt as encryption for a flash drive or external hard drive
TK is quite simple - put a password on flash drives and hard drives at work. Here, the first place is not the quality of encryption algorithms, but ease of use. For some reason, I settled on truecrypt.
In general, in the mode when it is necessary to encrypt the entire disk, the ease of use suits me.
All you need to do is plug an encrypted disk into your computer, run truecrypt, click "Automount" and enter your password. But since after encryption the disk became "faulty" for the system, then every convenient time windows prompts me to format it:
In particular, this happens immediately after the encrypted flash drive is plugged into the computer.
I have concerns about this. It is likely that someone, or myself, accidentally (purely theoretically) click on the hated "Format" button. And then sadness.
Maybe someone knows the solution to the problem?
And, since this is the case, please advise alternatives. In the first place is not the quality of encryption algorithms, but simple banal convenience. I inserted the USB flash drive, entered the password and that's it. Just to be foolproof - that's enough.

To prevent Windows from asking about "formatting the disk", you can remove the drive letter. This is the only solution I was able to find. But I don't have a need for "automounting", you can try. Manually mounted without problems.
You can google how to remove it, or here , for example, there is a description.
If in general terms (I don’t remember the exact names of the items):
- with a connected disk, whose letter must be deleted;
- go to the control panel;
- then "administration";
- there is a "disk manager";
- select our disk, right-click select "change volume letter", then "delete".
