IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend that inexperienced users create a VeraCrypt file container on the selected device/partition, instead of attempting to encrypt the entire device/partition.\n\nWhen you create a VeraCrypt file container (as opposed to encrypting a device or partition) there is, for example, no risk of destroying a large number of files. Note that a VeraCrypt file container (even though it contains a virtual encrypted disk) is actually just like any normal file. For more information, see the chapter Beginner's Tutorial in the VeraCrypt User Guide.\n\nAre you sure you want to encrypt the entire device/partition?
