Mount Options

The chapter describes some options concerning Mount container procedure.

Mount in read-only mode. There are two ways to set/reset the "read-only" attribute for BestCrypt virtual drive:
1. Check Read only checkbox in the Mount container dialog.
2. Open Change Container Properties dialog for the container and check the appropriate check box in the Mount options property sheet
Mount as removable drive. To set the option, use Mount drives as removable command in Options menu of BestCrypt Control Panel. Note that the option takes effect for all containers.
Mount for all users or for the current user only. To make the choice, run the Properties command for the container and check an appropriate radio button in the Mount options property sheet.
Mount as a subfolder. The feature is implemented only for containers created with KG-Ghost key generator. To mount a container so that it will be available as a subfolder on a regular NTFS partition, you should do the following:
1. Open Mount container dialog.
2. Click Mount as: combo-box button to get the list of free drive letters.
3. Move the scroll bar down and select Mount as subfolder option.
4. Select or create empty NTFS subfolder and push OK button.
Mount with a remote key block. Since version 8, BestCrypt offers an opportunity to backup/restore key block (i.e. header of container file). Let's assume that you have created a backup copy of key block and saved it in a safe place. To open the container using the backup copy of key block, you should do the following:
1. Run Properties command for the container.
2. Go to Key Block functions property sheet.
3. Check the Mount with backup key block radio button.
Note: there are cases when the container is not shown in Control Panel: say, if the original key block was wiped after making the copy. In that case, you should use Browse command in Container menu of BestCrypt Control Panel. When the container appears in Control Panel, follow the steps listed above.
