Hello,

We have updated the BETA version! You asked for it, we’ve listened, so now download it and try the new features.

What is new?

  • User password authentication type;

What is changed?

  • Key Tools was removed to avoid user confusion;

Start up CDE > Right click C:\ > Encrypt > Enter the desired info… > at the last window click the red X button and BSOD Will appear

Maybe someone could answer a few questions about CDE Beta:

  1. I have encrypted my primary patrition with password protection. After encryption the machine’s boot time increased, and the Operating System is loading slower . Is this normal?

  2. If I’ll decide to encrypt the second, logical partition, it will use the same password at boot time as the primary partition, wich is encrypted already? Or, to be more exact, can I encrypt two partitions and use the same password, even if the encryption protocols are different (like on C:\ I use SHA256 with AES, and on D:\ I’ll use MD5 and Serpent)
    ???

  1. It is normal that the machine’s boot time increased, depending on the encryption algorithm you chosed.

  2. If you decide to encrypt a second partition it will use the same password. You cannot encrypt on a computer, 2 partitions with two distinct passwords or authentication types. But you can change hash and encryption algorithms.

Just a minor detail:

The installer defaults to:
c:\program files\comodo\Comodo Disk Encryption - BETA

All other Comodo products install like this:
c:\program files\comodo\Disk Encryption
