1. Click "Create Volume".
2. Choose "Create a file container", then next.
3. Choose "Standard TrueCrypt volume", then next.
4. Click "Select File" and choose a desired name and location for your new container., click next.
5. In this section, you are allowed to use different kind Symmetric encryption format, for this project i tried out "AES", click next.
6. Choose your volume size for the container, click next.
7. Make a volume password, this is used to secure your container, click next.
8. Now it will start to strengthen the encryption keys, move your mouse often will help.
9. Click format and you are done with creating of the container.

1. Select a empty drive as listed in the slide bar.
2. Click "Select File", navigate to the location you saved your container.
3. Click "Mount", you will then be prompt for the volume password.
4. Now you can start transfer private information into that drive in "My Computer"

Anything that is being transfer into the encryption drive will be encrypted including files that have EFS on it. Try transfing a file that had been encrypted by EFS into the encryption volume. The file will then be loaded even slower as 2 encrypting is being done when its being opened.

Comparing both EFS and TrueCrypt, if i am a typically user i will choose EFS as it is easier to use. The advantage of having both will increase the thickness of secure level for your private information, but encrypted a file that is frequently use may result in slower performance.
