macOS: prepare APFS formatter device aliases

When creating an APFS filesystem inside a newly created device-hosted volume, VeraCrypt prepared only the raw hdiutil device path before invoking newfs_apfs. On macOS, newfs_apfs may resolve or reopen the corresponding block device path, which can fail with Permission denied for non-root GUI runs.

Prepare both raw and block aliases for the temporary formatter device, restore changed owners afterward, and share the helper between GUI and text-mode volume creation. Restore each changed alias independently so one restore failure does not skip the rest.

-Instructions for Building VeraCrypt for Windows:
-------------------------------------------------
+## Instructions for Signing and Packaging VeraCrypt for Windows:
 
-1) Create an environment variable 'MSVC16_ROOT' pointing to the folder 'MSVC15'
-   extracted from the Visual C++ 1.52 self-extracting package.
+First, create an environment variable 'WSDK81' pointing to the Windows SDK
+for Windows 8.1 installation directory.
 
-   Note: The 16-bit installer MSVC15\SETUP.EXE cannot be run on 64-bit Windows,
-   but it is actually not necessary to run it. You only need to extract the
-   folder 'MSVC15', which contains the 32-bit binaries required to build the
-   VeraCrypt Boot Loader.
+The folder "Signing" contains a batch file (sign.bat) that will sign all
+VeraCrypt components using a code signing certificate present on the
+certificate store and build the final installation setup and MSI package.
+The batch file assumes that the code signing certificate is issued by
+GlobalSign. This is the case for IDRIX's certificate. If yours is issued by
+another CA, then you should put its intermediate certificates in the "Signing"
+folder and modify sign.bat accordingly.
 
-2) If you have installed the Windows Driver Development Kit in another
-   directory than '%SYSTEMDRIVE%\WinDDK', create an environment variable
-   'WINDDK_ROOT' pointing to the DDK installation directory.
+To generate MSI packages, WiX Toolset v3.11 must be installed.
 
-3) Copy the PKCS #11 header files to a standard include path or create an
-   environment variable 'PKCS11_INC' pointing to the directory where
-   the PKCS #11 header files are installed.
+## VeraCrypt EFI Boot Loader:
 
-4) Open the solution file 'VeraCrypt.sln' in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.
+VeraCrypt source code contains pre-built EFI binaries under src\Boot\EFI.
+The source code of VeraCrypt EFI Boot Loader is licensed under LGPL and
+it is available at https://github.com/veracrypt/VeraCrypt-DCS.
+For build instructions, please refer to the file src\Boot\EFI\Readme.txt.
 
-5) Select 'All' as the active solution configuration.
+# II. Linux and Mac OS X
 
-6) Build the solution.
+A detailed guide on how to build VeraCrypt on Linux can be found in
+the [documentation](./doc/html/en/CompilingGuidelineLinux.html) in the repository and
+it is also available [online](https://veracrypt.jp/en/CompilingGuidelineLinux.html) or on the [mirror](https://veracrypt.io/en/CompilingGuidelineLinux.html).
 
-7) If successful, there should be newly built VeraCrypt binaries in the
-   'Release' folder.

-   $ make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1
-   
+`$ make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1 WX_ROOT=/usr/src/wxWidgets wxbuild`
 
-Mac OS X specifics:
------------------------------------------------------------
-   
-Under MacOSX, the SDK for OSX 10.7 is used by default. To use another version
-of the SDK (e.i. 10.6), you can export the environment variable VC_OSX_TARGET :
-	
-	$ export VC_OSX_TARGET=10.6
+`$ make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1`
 
+On MacOSX, building a console-only executable is not supported.
 
-Before building under MacOSX, pkg-config must be installed if not yet available.
-Get it from http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.28.tar.gz and
-compile using the following commands : 
+## Mac OS X specifics:
 
-	$ ./configure --with-internal-glib
-	$ make
-	$ sudo make install
+Under MacOSX, the latest installed SDK is used by default. To use a different version
+of the SDK when building using make, you can export the environment variable VC_OSX_SDK:
 
-After making sure pkg-config is available, download and install OSXFuse from
-https://osxfuse.github.io/ (MacFUSE compatibility layer must selected)
+`$ export VC_OSX_SDK=13.0`
 
-The script build_veracrypt_macosx.sh available under "src/Build" performs the 
+For development dependencies management, you can use [homebrew](https://brew.sh).
+
+`$ brew install pkg-config yasm wxwidgets`
+
+You also need system dependencies
+
+`$ brew install --cask macfuse packages`
+
+After installing dependencies via brew, you can build a local development build
+
+`$ ./src/Build/build_veracrypt_macosx.sh -b`
+
+If you want to build the package, you must pass `-p` to the build script above. The built
+executable will be in `.src/Main`
+
+If you prefer to build from sources, or without homebrew, pkg-config and packages must be installed.
+
+Get pkg-config from https://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.29.2.tar.gz and
+compile using the following commands:
+
+`$ CFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion" CXXFLAGS="-Wno-int-conversion" ./configure --with-internal-glib`
+
+`$ make`
+
+`$ sudo make install`
+
+After making sure pkg-config is available, download and install macFUSE from
+https://macfuse.github.io/
+
+The [build_veracrypt_macosx.sh](./src/Build/build_veracrypt_macosx.sh) script performs the
 full build of VeraCrypt including the creation of the installer pkg. It expects
-to find the wxWidgets 3.0.2 sources at the same level as where you put 
-VeraCrypt sources (e.i. if "src" path is "/Users/joe/Projects/VeraCrypt/src" 
-then wxWidgets should be at "/Users/joe/Projects/wxWidgets-wxWidgets-3.0.2")
+to find the wxWidgets 3.2.5 sources at the same level as where you put
+VeraCrypt sources (i.e. if "src" path is "/Users/joe/Projects/VeraCrypt/src"
+then wxWidgets should be at "/Users/joe/Projects/wxWidgets-3.2.5")
 
-The build process uses Code Signing certificates whose ID is specified in
-src/Main/Main.make (lines 167 & 169). You'll have to modify these lines to put
-the ID of your Code Signing certificates or comment them if you don't have one.
+The make build process uses Code Signing certificates whose ID is specified in
+src/Main/Main.make (look for lines containing "Developer ID Application" and
+"Developer ID Installer"). You'll have to modify these lines to put the ID of
+your Code Signing certificates or comment them out if you don't have one.
 
-Because of incompatibility issues with OSXFUSE, the SDK 10.9 generates a
-VeraCrypt binary that has issues communicating with the OSXFUSE kernel extension.
-Thus, we recommend to use the SDK 10.8 or earlier for building VeraCrypt.
+Because of incompatibility issues with macFUSE, the SDK 10.9 generates a
+VeraCrypt binary that has issues communicating with the macFUSE kernel extension.
+Thus, we recommend using a different macOS SDK version for building VeraCrypt.
 
+The Packages installer that is used for the VeraCrypt official build has been notarized by IDRIX and it is available at
+https://github.com/idrassi/packages/releases

+.SYNOPSIS
+    Create a VeraCrypt container just large enough for the supplied file or
+    directory and copy the data into it.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    • Chooses an exFAT cluster size (auto or explicit).
+    • Calculates the minimum container size using an iterative approach for FAT/Bitmap sizing, plus safety margin.
+    • Creates, mounts, copies, verifies, and unmounts – all guarded by -WhatIf/-Confirm (SupportsShouldProcess).
+    • Finds VeraCrypt automatically or takes a -VeraCryptDir override.
+    • Encryption and hash algorithms are parameters.
+    • Password can be passed via SecureString prompt or pipeline.
+    • Enhanced parameterization for safety margins and VeraCrypt overhead.
+
+.PARAMETER InputPath        File or directory to store in the container.
+.PARAMETER ContainerPath    Dest *.hc* file. Default: InputPath + '.hc'.
+.PARAMETER ClusterSizeKB    4–512 KiB or 'Auto' (default 32).
+.PARAMETER VeraCryptDir     Optional folder containing VeraCrypt *.exe* files.
+.PARAMETER EncryptionAlg    Any algorithm VeraCrypt accepts (default AES).
+.PARAMETER HashAlg          VeraCrypt hash (default SHA512).
+.PARAMETER SafetyPercent    Safety margin as percentage of calculated size (default 1.0 for small, 0.1 for large).
+.PARAMETER VCOverheadMiB    VeraCrypt overhead in MiB (default varies by size).
+.PARAMETER Force            If specified, allows overwriting the output container if it already exists.
+.PARAMETER Password         Optional SecureString password for automation (prompts if not provided).
+

+The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) specifies a FIPS-approved cryptographic algorithm (Rijndael, designed by Joan Daemen and Vincent Rijmen, published in 1998) that may be used by US federal departments and agencies to cryptographically protect sensitive
+ information [3]. VeraCrypt uses AES with 14 rounds and a 256-bit key (i.e., AES-256, published in 2001) operating in

+In June 2003, after the NSA (US National Security Agency) conducted a review and analysis of AES, the U.S. CNSS (Committee on National Security Systems) announced in [1] that the design and strength of AES-256 (and AES-192) are sufficient to protect classified
+ information up to the Top Secret level. This is applicable to all U.S. Government Departments or Agencies that are considering the acquisition or use of products incorporating the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to satisfy Information Assurance requirements

+<h1>Argon2id</h1>
+<div style="text-align:left; margin-top:19px; margin-bottom:19px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+Argon2id is a memory-hard key derivation function designed to resist both time-memory trade-off attacks and side-channel attacks. It was selected as the winner of the Password Hashing Competition (PHC) in 2015 and is defined in RFC 9106. VeraCrypt supports Argon2id as an alternative to PBKDF2-HMAC for header key derivation.

+
+<h3>Key Features</h3>
+<ul style="text-align:left; margin-top:18px; margin-bottom:19px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+<li style="text-align:left; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+<strong>Memory-hard:</strong> Requires a configurable amount of memory, making it resistant to specialized hardware attacks
+</li>
+<li style="text-align:left; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+<strong>Side-channel resistant:</strong> Combines data-dependent and data-independent memory access patterns
+</li>
+<li style="text-align:left; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+<strong>Internal hash function:</strong> Uses BLAKE2b internally, eliminating the need for separate hash algorithm selection
+</li>
+<li style="text-align:left; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+<strong>Tunable parameters:</strong> Allows adjustment of memory cost, time cost, and parallelism
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Argon2 Variants</h3>

+<h1>Authenticity and Integrity</h1>
+<p>VeraCrypt uses encryption to preserve the <em>confidentiality</em> of data it encrypts. VeraCrypt neither preserves nor verifies the integrity or authenticity of data it encrypts or decrypts. Hence, if you allow an adversary to modify data encrypted by VeraCrypt,
+ he can set the value of any 16-byte block of the data to a random value or to a previous value, which he was able to obtain in the past. Note that the adversary cannot choose the value that you will obtain when VeraCrypt decrypts the modified block &mdash;
+ the value will be random &mdash; unless the attacker restores an older version of the encrypted block, which he was able to obtain in the past. It is your responsibility to verify the integrity and authenticity of data encrypted or decrypted by VeraCrypt (for
+ example, by using appropriate third-party software).<br>

+	<h1>Understanding the Risks of Using Third-Party File Extensions with VeraCrypt</h1>
+	<div>
+	  <p>While VeraCrypt provides robust encryption capabilities to secure your data, using third-party file extensions for File Containers or Keyfiles could risk making the encrypted data inaccessible.<br />
+	  This guide provides an in-depth explanation of the associated risks, and it outlines recommendations for best practices to mitigate these risks.</p>
+	</div>
+	
+	<h2>Risks Associated with File Containers</h2>
+	<div>
+	  <p>Using a third-party file extension for File Containers exposes you to several risks:</p>
+	  <ul>
+		<li>Overwritten Metadata: Third-party applications may update their metadata, which could overwrite crucial parts of the File Container.</li>
+		<li>Unintentional Changes: Accidentally launching a File Container with a third-party application could modify its metadata without your consent.</li>
+		<li>Container Corruption: These actions could render the container unreadable or unusable.</li>
+		<li>Data Loss: The data within the container might be permanently lost if the container becomes corrupted.</li>
+	  </ul>
+	</div>
+	
+	<h2>Risks Associated with Keyfiles</h2>
+	<div>
+	  <p>Similar risks are associated with Keyfiles:</p>
+	  <ul>
+		<li>Keyfile Corruption: Inadvertently modifying a Keyfile with a third-party application can make it unusable for decryption.</li>
+		<li>Overwritten Data: Third-party applications may overwrite the portion of the Keyfile that VeraCrypt uses for decryption.</li>
+		<li>Unintentional Changes: Accidental changes can make it impossible to mount the volume unless you have an unaltered backup of the Keyfile.</li>
+	  </ul>
+	</div>
+	
+	<h2>Examples of Extensions to Avoid</h2>
+	<div>
+	  <p>Avoid using the following types of third-party file extensions:</p>
+	  <ul>
+		<li>Media Files: Picture, audio, and video files are subject to metadata changes by their respective software.</li>
+		<li>Archive Files: Zip files can be easily modified, which could disrupt the encrypted volume.</li>
+		<li>Executable Files: Software updates can modify these files, making them unreliable as File Containers or Keyfiles.</li>
+		<li>Document Files: Office and PDF files can be automatically updated by productivity software, making them risky to use.</li>
+	  </ul>
+	</div>
+	
+	<h2>Recommendations</h2>
+	<div>
+	  <p>For secure usage, consider the following best practices:</p>
+	  <ul>
+		<li>Use neutral file extensions for File Containers and Keyfiles to minimize the risk of automatic file association.</li>
+		<li>Keep secure backups of your File Containers and Keyfiles in locations isolated from network access.</li>
+		<li>Disable auto-open settings for the specific file extensions you use for VeraCrypt File Containers and Keyfiles.</li>
+		<li>Always double-check file associations and be cautious when using a new device or third-party application.</li>
+	  </ul>

+<div style="text-align:left; margin-top:19px; margin-bottom:19px; padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px">
+<p>
+BLAKE2 is a cryptographic hash function based on BLAKE, created by Jean-Philippe Aumasson, Samuel Neves, Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn, and Christian Winnerlein. It was announced on December 21, 2012. The design goal was to replace the widely used, but broken, MD5 and SHA-1 algorithms in applications requiring high performance in software. BLAKE2 provides better security than SHA-2 and similar to that of SHA-3 (e.g. immunity to length extension, indifferentiability from a random oracle, etc...).<br/>
+BLAKE2 removes addition of constants to message words from BLAKE round function, changes two rotation constants, simplifies padding, adds parameter block that is XOR'ed with initialization vectors, and reduces the number of rounds from 16 to 12 for BLAKE2b (successor of BLAKE-512), and from 14 to 10 for BLAKE2s (successor of BLAKE-256).<br/>
+BLAKE2b and BLAKE2s are specified in RFC 7693.
+</p>
+<p>
+VeraCrypt uses only BLAKE2s with its maximum output size of 32-bytes (256 bits).

+<h1>Beginner's Tutorial</h1>
+<h2>How to Create and Use a VeraCrypt Container</h2>
+<p>This chapter contains step-by-step instructions on how to create, mount, and use a VeraCrypt volume. We strongly recommend that you also read the other sections of this manual, as they contain important information.</p>
+<h4>STEP 1:</h4>
+<p>If you have not done so, download and install VeraCrypt. Then launch VeraCrypt by double-clicking the file VeraCrypt.exe or by clicking the VeraCrypt shortcut in your Windows Start menu.</p>
+<h4>STEP 2:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_001.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+The main VeraCrypt window should appear. Click <strong>Create Volume </strong>(marked with a red rectangle for clarity).</p>
+<h4>STEP 3:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_002.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+The VeraCrypt Volume Creation Wizard window should appear.<br>
+<br>
+In this step you need to choose where you wish the VeraCrypt volume to be created. A VeraCrypt volume can reside in a file, which is also called container, in a partition or drive. In this tutorial, we will choose the first option and create a VeraCrypt volume
+ within a file.<br>
+<br>
+As the option is selected by default, you can just click <strong>Next</strong>.</p>
+<p>Note: In the following steps, the screenshots will show only the right-hand part of the Wizard window.</p>
+<h4>STEP 4:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_003.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+In this step you need to choose whether to create a standard or hidden VeraCrypt volume. In this tutorial, we will choose the former option and create a standard VeraCrypt volume.<br>
+<br>
+As the option is selected by default, you can just click <strong>Next</strong>.</p>
+<h4>STEP 5:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_004.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+In this step you have to specify where you wish the VeraCrypt volume (file container) to be created. Note that a VeraCrypt container is just like any normal file. It can be, for example, moved or deleted as any normal file. It also needs a filename, which you
+ will choose in the next step.<br>
+<br>
+Click <strong>Select File</strong>.<br>
+<br>
+The standard Windows file selector should appear (while the window of the VeraCrypt Volume Creation Wizard remains open in the background).</p>
+<h4>STEP 6:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_005.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+In this tutorial, we will create our VeraCrypt volume in the folder F<em>:\Data\ </em>
+and the filename of the volume (container) will be <em>MyVolume.hc </em>(as can be seen in the screenshot above). You may, of course, choose any other filename and location you like (for example, on a USB memory stick). Note that the file
+<em>MyVolume.hc </em>does not exist yet &ndash; VeraCrypt will create it.</p>
+<p>IMPORTANT: Note that VeraCrypt will <em>not </em>encrypt any existing files (when creating a VeraCrypt file container). If you select an existing file in this step, it will be overwritten and replaced by the newly created volume (so the overwritten file
+ will be <em>lost</em>, <em>not </em>encrypted). You will be able to encrypt existing files (later on) by moving them to the VeraCrypt volume that we are creating now.*</p>
+<p>Select the desired path (where you wish the container to be created) in the file selector. Type the desired container file name in the
+<strong>Filename </strong>box.<br>
+<br>
+Click <strong>Save</strong>.<br>
+<br>
+The file selector window should disappear.<br>
+<br>
+In the following steps, we will return to the VeraCrypt Volume Creation Wizard.</p>
+<p>* Note that after you copy existing unencrypted files to a VeraCrypt volume, you should securely erase (wipe) the original unencrypted files. There are software tools that can be used for the purpose of secure erasure (many of them are free).</p>
+<h4>STEP 7:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_007.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+In the Volume Creation Wizard window, click <strong>Next</strong>.</p>
+<h4>STEP 8:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_008.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Here you can choose an encryption algorithm and a hash algorithm for the volume. If you are not sure what to select here, you can use the default settings and click
+<strong>Next </strong>(for more information, see chapters <a href="Encryption Algorithms.html">
+<em>Encryption Algorithms</em></a> and <a href="Hash%20Algorithms.html">
+<em>Hash Algorithms</em></a>).</p>
+<h4>STEP 9:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_009.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Here we specify that we wish the size of our VeraCrypt container to be 250 megabyte. You may, of course, specify a different size. After you type the desired size in the input field (marked with a red rectangle), click
+<strong>Next</strong>.</p>
+<h4>STEP 10:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_010.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+This is one of the most important steps. Here you have to choose a good volume password. Read carefully the information displayed in the Wizard window about what is considered a good password.<br>
+<br>
+After you choose a good password, type it in the first input field. Then re-type it in the input field below the first one and click
+<strong>Next</strong>.</p>
+<p>Note: The button <strong>Next </strong>will be disabled until passwords in both input fields are the same.</p>
+<h4>STEP 11:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_011.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Move your mouse as randomly as possible within the Volume Creation Wizard window at least until the randomness indicator becomes green. The longer you move the mouse, the better (moving the mouse for at least 30 seconds is recommended). This significantly increases
+ the cryptographic strength of the encryption keys (which increases security).<br>
+<br>
+Click <strong>Format</strong>.<br>
+<br>
+Volume creation should begin. VeraCrypt will now create a file called <em>MyVolume.hc
+</em>in the folder F<em>:\Data\ </em>(as we specified in Step 6). This file will be a VeraCrypt container (it will contain the encrypted VeraCrypt volume). Depending on the size of the volume, the volume creation may take a long time. After it finishes, the
+ following dialog box will appear:<br>
+<br>
+<img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_012.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Click <strong>OK </strong>to close the dialog box.</p>
+<h4>STEP 12:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_013.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+We have just successfully created a VeraCrypt volume (file container). In the VeraCrypt Volume Creation Wizard window, click
+<strong>Exit</strong>.<br>
+<br>
+The Wizard window should disappear.<br>
+<br>
+In the remaining steps, we will mount the volume we just created. We will return to the main VeraCrypt window (which should still be open, but if it is not, repeat Step 1 to launch VeraCrypt and then continue from Step 13.)</p>
+<h4>STEP 13:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_014.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Select a drive letter from the list (marked with a red rectangle). This will be the drive letter to which the VeraCrypt container will be mounted.<br>
+<br>
+Note: In this tutorial, we chose the drive letter M, but you may of course choose any other available drive letter.</p>
+<h4>STEP 14:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_015.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Click <strong>Select File</strong>.<br>
+<br>
+The standard file selector window should appear.</p>
+<h4>STEP 15:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_016.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+In the file selector, browse to the container file (which we created in Steps 6-12) and select it. Click
+<strong>Open </strong>(in the file selector window).<br>
+<br>
+The file selector window should disappear.<br>
+<br>
+In the following steps, we will return to the main VeraCrypt window.</p>
+<h4>STEP 16:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_017.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+In the main VeraCrypt window, click <strong>Mount</strong>. Password prompt dialog window should appear.</p>
+<h4>STEP 17:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_018.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Type the password (which you specified in Step 10) in the password input field (marked with a red rectangle).</p>
+<h4>STEP 18:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_019.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Select the PRF algorithm that was used during the creation of the volume (SHA-512 is the default PRF used by VeraCrypt). If you don&rsquo;t remember which PRF was used, just leave it set to &ldquo;autodetection&rdquo; but the mounting process will take more
+ time. Click <strong>OK</strong> after entering the password.<br>
+<br>
+VeraCrypt will now attempt to mount the volume. If the password is incorrect (for example, if you typed it incorrectly), VeraCrypt will notify you and you will need to repeat the previous step (type the password again and click
+<strong>OK</strong>). If the password is correct, the volume will be mounted.</p>
+<h4>FINAL STEP:</h4>
+<p><img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_020.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+We have just successfully mounted the container as a virtual disk M:<br>
+<br>
+The virtual disk is entirely encrypted (including file names, allocation tables, free space, etc.) and behaves like a real disk. You can save (or copy, move, etc.) files to this virtual disk and they will be encrypted on the fly as they are being written.<br>
+<br>
+If you open a file stored on a VeraCrypt volume, for example, in media player, the file will be automatically decrypted to RAM (memory) on the fly while it is being read.</p>
+<p>Important: Note that when you open a file stored on a VeraCrypt volume (or when you write/copy a file to/from the VeraCrypt volume) you will not be asked to enter the password again. You need to enter the correct password only when mounting the volume.</p>
+<p>You can open the mounted volume, for example, by selecting it on the list as shown in the screenshot above (blue selection) and then double-clicking on the selected item.</p>
+<p>You can also browse to the mounted volume the way you normally browse to any other types of volumes. For example, by opening the &lsquo;<em>Computer</em>&rsquo; (or &lsquo;<em>My Computer</em>&rsquo;) list and double clicking the corresponding drive letter
+ (in this case, it is the letter M).<br>
+<br>
+<img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_021.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+You can copy files (or folders) to and from the VeraCrypt volume just as you would copy them to any normal disk (for example, by simple drag-and-drop operations). Files that are being read or copied from the encrypted VeraCrypt volume are automatically decrypted
+ on the fly in RAM (memory). Similarly, files that are being written or copied to the VeraCrypt volume are automatically encrypted on the fly in RAM (right before they are written to the disk).<br>
+<br>
+Note that VeraCrypt never saves any decrypted data to a disk &ndash; it only stores them temporarily in RAM (memory). Even when the volume is mounted, data stored in the volume is still encrypted. When you restart Windows or turn off your computer, the volume
+ will be unmounted and all files stored on it will be inaccessible (and encrypted). Even when power supply is suddenly interrupted (without proper system shut down), all files stored on the volume will be inaccessible (and encrypted). To make them accessible
+ again, you have to mount the volume. To do so, repeat Steps 13-18.</p>
+<p>If you want to close the volume and make files stored on it inaccessible, either restart your operating system or unmount the volume. To do so, follow these steps:<br>
+<br>
+<img src="Beginner's Tutorial_Image_022.jpg" alt=""><br>
+<br>
+Select the volume from the list of mounted volumes in the main VeraCrypt window (marked with a red rectangle in the screenshot above) and then click
+<strong>Unmount </strong>(also marked with a red rectangle in the screenshot above). To make files stored on the volume accessible again, you will have to mount the volume. To do so, repeat Steps 13-18.</p>
+<h2>How to Create and Use a VeraCrypt-Encrypted Partition/Device</h2>
+<p>Instead of creating file containers, you can also encrypt physical partitions or drives (i.e., create VeraCrypt device-hosted volumes). To do so, repeat the steps 1-3 but in the step 3 select the second or third option. Then follow the remaining instructions
+ in the wizard. When you create a device-hosted VeraCrypt volume within a <em>non-system
+</em>partition/drive, you can mount it by clicking <em>Auto-Mount Devices </em>in the main VeraCrypt window. For information pertaining to encrypted
+<em>system </em>partition/drives, see the chapter <a href="System%20Encryption.html">
+<em>System Encryption</em></a>.</p>
+<p>Important: <em>We strongly recommend that you also read the other chapters of this manual, as they contain important information that has been omitted in this tutorial for simplicity.</em></p>
