How can I read a LUKS flash drive?

Hi All,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freeotfe.mirror/
W7 64 bit does not allow you to run unsigned drivers, except in "Test Mode".  This is a problem for Free OTFE as the drivers are (who knows why) unsigned.
And, the users don't like "Test Mode" showing on the bottom right of their screen.  Turn off the "test mode" and Free OTFE stops working.  And, there are actually some good security reasons to use signed drivers.
Has anyone come up with a work around?
A way of reading LUKS encrypted flash drives that has signed drivers?  A sub for Free OTFE?
A way to allow just these unsigned drivers to operate?
Only need to read, not write.  If I can only read, all the better!  (Viruses won't jump from my customer's computers.)
Many thanks,
-T

Hi Arnav,
   I have been using this method.  This is what I complained about in the original post.  It pops up "Test Mode" in the bottom right of the screen, which freaks out the user.  So, if you want to read a LUKS stick, I have to do the
above, reboot, read the stick, undo the above, and reboot.  Even though I have copy and paste instructions, including a reboot, it is still a pain in the neck.
Do you know of a way to tell Windows to bugger off on a particular driver?
Manya thanks, -T

  • How can I open my portable flash drive in my Macbook Air?

    It doesn't pop-out and I can't figure out how to open it!

    I have a personal portable flash drive of about 150GB and I would like to work on the the document stored in it. When I connect it to my Macbook Air via the USB port nothing happens. It doesnt pop open on the computer screen and I don't know where to navigate to set it open and work on my documents.
    In my last laptop as soon as I connect the flash drive it pops-up and ask me "what I would like to do" and from there I carry on. But in this new Macbook Air I acquire about a month ago, everything seems up-side down and difficult to navigate.
    My question is: how can I open my this portabble flash drive when connected to the Macbook Air? Hope that explains well. Cheers.

  • What is the FAT file system and how can I format my LEXAR flash drive with it?

    Recently, Apple support helped me download my songs form iTunes to a LEXAR flash drive. I connected it to the USB connector in my car. My car's display said
    "unsupported". My other LEXAR usb plays music perfectly. What is wrong? My car's manual says that my audio system reads and plays audio files on the USB flash memory device in MP3, WMA, AAC formats. (AAC format files recorded with iTunes only.)  How do I correct this problem?

    Reformatting the drive will completely erase it so make sure you have copies of the files.
    FAT format is an older non-Mac format but is still found on plenty of things such as flash drives.  It's the one format that both Macs and Windows computers can fully use but it has limitations outside small-scale use.  Your Apple person must have reformatted your drive to Mac format which wasn't very smart of the person since almost nothing except Apple products can work with Mac format.  Are you sure you explained how you intended to use the drive, or did you just ask the person how to put files on there?

  • How can I recover files from flash drive?

    I've apparently lost a bunch of '.pages' files on a 16GB Lexar flash drive that were present yesterday.  The '.pages' files were contained in a sub-folder.  The main folder is still there and apparently okay.  I am at a total lose as to where the files (and their sub-folder) have gone to.  Any suggestions on a program or procedure to try to see if they're still there and recoverable?  Any guidance will be GREATLY appreciated!  Thanks! 
    I have a MAC Mini (Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.4 GHz Intel Core2Duo 8GB mem.
    If I've selected the wrong community to post this question to, please help me find the right one.  Thanks, again!

    Peter,
    Thanks for suggesting Disk Utility.  I didn't know it existed, but found it and ran it.  I checked 'Verify Disk' and it "Found 335234 orphaned clusters, 25174 files, 6428792 KiB free (803599 clusters)"  And, then responded (in Red) "Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk."
    After I checked "Repair Disk" it responded: "Volume repair complete. Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required."
    After then checking the flash drive the 'lost' folder and files are still not present.
    I've been looking on the WEB for 'recovery programs' for MAC.  I'd just as soon find a 'free' application, but would consider purchasing a program if it would work.  What do you know about these 'recovery programs':

        http://www.easeus.com/mac/mac-data-recovery-resource/recover-mac-usb-drive.htm
    Have you had any experience using any of them?  There are many more out there including ones that will 'scan' your flash drive ('free') and tell you what files it can recover, then you have to purchase the full program (~$99) to actually recover them.  Two of these programs are listed below:
        http://www.macintosh-data-recovery.com/?gclid=CPzujPKOn8ICFQNk7AodqFoAVw

    I had even converted 7 of the original '.pages' files to '.pdf' files to eMail some friends in the universal '.pdf' format on Nov. 28th.  The '.pdf' files were saved back to the original folder on the flash drive.  They, also, cannot be found anywhere!!?? 
    I can re-build the files (~150-200 photo pages from vacation trip back in May), but there were many comments and some special research (maps, etc.) I had included that I would probably not be able to duplicate exactly.  Luckily the '.jpg' photos from our trip are still present on the flash drive and also on the camera's memory stick - THANK GOODNESS!  However, now I am hoping that one of the recovery programs listed above might solve my problem.
    Again, thanks for your help, but I'm not THERE yet! 

  • I can only read on my flash drive and it won't let me format it. Please help!

    I'm frustrated.

    Some flash drives have a failure mode in which they are irreversibly write-locked by the internal controller when it detects a write error. If the drive doesn't have a write-lock switch (most do not) and you can't erase it in Disk Utility, that's almost certainly what has happened. To be sure, test it with another computer, if possible.

  • I desire to know how to install Adobe Reader on a flash drive.

    You can download the installer file from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ and copy it onto your Flash drive. Be sure to select the right version for the operating system on your desktop computer.

  • How do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?????

    how do i install adobe reader on a flash drive?

    I don't know if this will work; it will certainly not create a "portable" Adobe Reader.
    But it may install on the flash driver, to be used only on the computer that installed it.
    Download and run the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/
    On the Reader setup panel, click on 'Change Destination Folder' and select your flash drive.
    Let us know how that goes; I am curious...

  • Leopard to Snow Leopard can i use a large flash drive to backup first?

    I've been using Leopard for 4 years with no problems. 
    Since Google decided to stop support for Leopard, and I use Chrome a lot I decided to upgrade.  I won't be upgrading to Mountain Lion right right away. I ordered my Snow Leopard disks from Apple.
    I understand that I need to backup.  I want to backup with Time Machine before I upgrade the OS, but I don't have $75+ right now to purchase an external hard drive for this purpose only. 
    Can I use a large Flash Drive to run Time Machine?  Like a 32 GB?   I know that flash drives have a limited number of writes on them and can go bad, so I am thinking I could just use it this one time to make sure I have a clean backup.  If this is possible, then can I set up Time Machine again later when I have an external drive?
    Also, I have 2 cores on my Mac, but I have no idea how to use the 2nd core. 
    I'm also not sure if I need to purchase a specific external drive because I have a mac. 
    Thanks for the help.

    If you only need to make a full backup prior to upgrading, I would suggest using SuperDuper, which for creating a full, bootable clone is free. (It is not free when you start needing to make incremental backups, but you won't be doing that, at least not right now.) For a bootable clone, you only need a Flash drive (or external drive) as big as the total size of the utilized space on your hard drive right now, not as big as whatever the entire drive size is.
    In the past, I would have recommended Carbon Copy Cloner for this, but it's no longer free or donation-ware and you don't have the budget for both that and some kind of external or Flash drive.
    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    You might also want to look around newegg.com for inexpensive USB external drives, or even large enough Flash drives. You'll probably find a much less expensive external hard drive than a Flash drive for this purpose.
    You do not need to use Time Machine, but even if you did you could just make one full backup to a Flash or external drive and then unmount and disconnect it. An external for TM only needs to be so large because it's constantly taking snapshots of your drive and those add up. But you won't be using it that way.
    Anyway, I think you're much better off with a bootable clone, should you need to restore that.
    Don't worry about having 2 cores; that's nothing to do with backing up.

  • How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule ...

    So, I am in Oklahoma and my daughter is in Tennessee...
    She has a Time Capsule where the Wi-fi base station quit working, but the hard drive may be OK.
    She bought an Airport Express to use as a wi-fi router.
    The question, then, is:
    How can my daughter use the hard drive in the Time Capsule to do Time Machine backups?
    Thank you very much for your insights.
    Roberto

    It can be done but is very messy. That is assuming the TC is still functional which I kind of doubt.. the wifi is seldom the only thing that will die .. so whatever problems it has the wifi would be the least of it.
    Anyway.. do a factory reset to get started.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    If the LED is not lit then the TC is dead, not just the wireless.
    The setup for using the TC is explained in the bottom of this thread.
    TC in a second local network.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817218?tstart=30
    The idea is to set the TC to provide router function.. and the computer plugged in by ethernet to as a second network.. but there are rules on how this is done which I have explained in that thread.
    I notice that Mountain Lion deals better with order of network priority than Snow Leopard used to .. so it might not need to have manually set gateway and dns.. although I would still recommend it. It simply stops the second network causing issues.
    It is much easier to simply purchase an external drive and plug that in.
    It is cheaper, faster and more reliable than using the TC for TM anyway.
    Plus a lot of the later machines no longer have ethernet ports.. and using dongles is far from neat.. although thunderbolt to ethernet is IMHO necessary accessory for anyone without ethernet.
