It's sure handy to just use a USB thumbdrive though - better yet have VC on the Windows Boot media of that PC. The next best situation is a USB HDD which can have more than one partition and still be visible to these hosts. I've still got a Window 7 and pre 1709 Windows 10 clients that can't read more than one partition on a removable media. Veracrypt is portable, so no PE environment changes needed.

Or does running VeraCrypt in WinPE actually require direct modifications to the WinPE environment itself beforehand, such as driver injections? I use this method to access Explorer++ in Rescue, for example, which is a much more powerful file browser.


Then you can launch it by clicking the PE Explorer icon in the Rescue Media task bar (blue computer icon) to open a rudimentary file explorer. However, if you're using a USB flash drive for Rescue Media (as opposed to a CD/DVD), it's probably easiest to just create a VeraCrypt Portable folder on the flash drive and store the necessary application files there. Is there a way to include other files in the Macrium rescue ISO easily? Or is there a way to make the Macrium rescue media creation tool to write to wim index #2 instead of #1?Ĭustom WIMs are a bit of a chore and introduce the potential of Rescue Media issues since you're now asking Reflect to build from a non-standard "foundation". Macrium writes it's files to wim index #1, so I never see the Macrium program on the resultant boot image when I use it. I tried to use the recovery media tools along with a boot.wim from a WinPE environment I use - that boot.wim has the Veracrypt.app on it This WinPE boot.wim must use index #2 to boot right. I can mount a second USB stick to get access to Veracrypt but would like to have a simpler solution I can access right from the recovery media. I store my backups on Veracrypt encrypted disks. I want to include the Veracrypt application files in my Macrium Rescue media.
