TrueCrypt Question

Leeg17

I have a 1tb 2.5" external hard drive partitioned as follows:

1 - 5gb for College - NTFS - X:
2 - 50gb encrypted - NTFS - R:
3 - 875gb for Ps3 - Fat32 - Z:

Following this guide I tried to create and encrypt a hidden partition.
When I encrypted the second partition it was orginally set as the P: drive and when I enter the password to the hidden volume after following the guide it shows as the R: drive in My Computer, but the P: drive still remains.


(Mounting the outer section)

(Mounting the inner hidden section)


When I initally plug in the HDD it pops up telling me I need to format the P: drive.



Did I do something wrong during the encryption process or what? The files seem to be saved/working properly in the R: drive. It's going to bug me if it pops up everytime I plug it in. I don't mind repeating the guide again but not if I'm going to make the same mistake.

This pops up all the time on my truecrypt encrypted drives. It's nothing to worry about. By the way it goes without saying not to format it. Just cancel it and mount it with truecrypt. But it will drive you mad the message that is
