You do get the question, during initial (first-time) boot, if you want to encrypt.
I guess, you could reset the device (erasing ALL data) and choose encryption at that point, instead of choosing "skip"

...entcryption is not the feature he wants!
Entcryption: When eg the memory card will be stolen (I know the diamond has no card) that the whole datas on it will be useless!
to lock files and folders I found a program called File Barricader
http://www.mysoco.com/Product.aspx?ProductID=8
And its free from what I can tell...
i really want to lock files and folders with a password, not encrypting....but anyway thank u alot.
By definition a file/folder has to be encrypted in order to protect it with a password otherwise it would be possible to access the file via alternative means and bypass the protection.
Whilst not freeware, but offering lots more features besides, I can recommend Resco Explorer which allows you to protect files in this manner using a choice of encryption methods. I'm not sure if it can protect folders (I suspect not).

Exactly! Read up a bit on the issue security before stating s..... things like encryption is not what is wanted.
What would be the point of password protection or similar, if you could just hook it up on USB and read your stuff anyway ?
Encryption uses password as the "key" to decrypt (or other means, like biometric, RSA tokens on ordinairy PC's).
Like posted, try 3rd party software like any suggested. Or hard-reset phone and use WM6 build in during initial setup.

yes this is what i want to do
Sooooo I foolishly formatted my SD card from FAT16 to FAT32 without transferring any of my files over to my desktop, therefore, everything has been erased...the cabs I dont really care about as I can just add them again, however the pictures are a devastating loss, there were many pictures on that card which I loved and would like to see again. I am aware that there is a tool somewhere out in googland (and hopefully xdaland) that allows me to bring back image files. If anyone knows the name or location of this tool it would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

I've used data recovery programs before but can't remember the name of which one i prefer. I'd recommend just doing a google search for either "data recovery software" or "picture recovery". There are many free ones out there so i wouldn't suggest buying one unless your too lazy to read up on which ones best.
If i remember the name of which app i've used before i'll post back,
Good Luck!
Solution is here

Try this
http://www.ufsexplorer.mobi/
if you format it i dont think you can recover it. formating wipes it clean. deleting simply deletes the address to where your data is located. recovery programs works by being able to relocate the data without the address.
@ denniegst: Somehow I don't think that formatting destroys data irrevocably. Otherwise utilities like Acronis Disk Director would be at least partly useless. And there would be no need whatsoever for things like DBAN, Eraser, Drive Cleanser... you name them.
@ OP: Provided you never saved anything on your newly-formatted SD card, there should be a very good chance of recovering your data.
At the time of typing this, I have a SanDisk-labelled RescuePRO mini-CD sitting on my desk. I got it with a memory card some time ago, never installed it, but it's supposed to save your bacon in situations such as these. Doubtless there are many others.
Ok, thanks for the posts guys, I believe I recovered the pictures. I used the RDMobile, thanks for the link!
slight problem, I ran the recovery, found the files, but when try to open it a pop up comes up saying;
There is no application associated with "Deleted SD Files"(what i called the backup) Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.
A bit confused on how to open the file to view my recovered files. any pointers
( I apologize for being a pest ;] )
...After looking through the settings, I thnk the problem might be where it asks me to define the file i saved...I am not quite sure what to define the file as?
sorry for the delay
I have not check these posts in a while sorry, the program you need is EZRecovery Pro, it will restore just about anything, deleted, formatted, raw etc.. do a Google/torrent search, by far the best and easiest recovery program I have found. And don't worry if you have written file to your card over the past few weeks, you would be surprised at how much data can be recovered even after a long period of write and rewrites. As always, if you like it, buy it.
try badcopy its good for memo cards and usb devices
I have got a probem which i posted in the below link...

Hi All,
I have been stuck up with a problem, not sure if this is the right forum to ask teh doubt..but as this thread is dedicated to Storage cards i thought to give t a try.
Recently i had used my phones storage card on a system and my card got affected by a virus. All the card name and files in it were changed to special characters. when i checked (again on my pc this time) there is no data on my card, its hodden and only a file called "Secret.exe" on my card. However on checking the properties i can see that the used memory is quite huge which means my data is there on teh card but is not visible.
I had some imp data on the card so not possible to format the card.
Does any one have come across this virus and knows the way to extract my data?
Any kind of help will be appreciated, as i have checked on google and am afraid have not been able to find even one perfect solution for this one on a SD card.
---------------------------------X------------------------------
Thanks a ton...
Haven't come across this virus, but if you type 'secret.exe' into Google there is a lot of hits, including a few with 'removal' in the title
May help, may not, but let us know how you get on
Thanks Fallen Spartan....
I had checked most of the links given by Google and they are mostly for the PC getting affected where in u need to change the some registries to see the files.
I have tried those but have not succeeded.
Tried several shredder softs to extract the data as well... i am not concerned over the card...its teh data which i badly require and i have no no backup
does your card have an "autorun.inf" file on it? if so delete it.
Yeah Josefcrist... my card indeed has an "autorun.inf" file on it... but i am not sure i am able to delete it... any special way...tried shift deleting it couple of times...
Use a data recovery software get what you can off card, then format your card nice and simple removal
Re: data recovery BadCopy Pro works well.
Thanks Stylez i will try this soft and will let you know...
I did try recovering the data through a diff soft though which didnt work...
My fingers crossed for this one
this doesn't work?

Its meant for pc's not sd cards....look at nimish_fun's 2nd post. He has already tried solutions for pc's
a sdcard connected in drive mode or in a sdreader
can be scanned and cleaned with a normal virus scanner on the pc
same deal with undelete and anything else you can do with an external hd really
unless ur SD Card Reader is locked. then you have to move the switch.

Thanks a ton to all and stylez, this software really worked for me...i can't believe how easlity it extracted all the files for me...
One catch though it recovers and lets you preview all the files but needs the registration key to save the files... however in my case the key was worth buying

How to check how much memory used on HD7?
I can't find anywhere on the phone on how to check how much memory I have used.
Its very silly that they haven't put explorer on the phone, but there must be a way?.... Please tell me if anyone knows.
you can go to settings on your phone and on the HD7 you can hit ABOUT and up pops phone info and right there at bottom is total storage which for my HD7 says 14.63GB then right after it gives available storage,plus you can get available storage on phone when using Zune with it syncing on your computer.I dont know if its posted on here already but here is a link on how to use your device for USB Mass Storage and yes it does work if you need to carry extra stuff around with you BUT you will not be able to directly access from the phone only good in helping keeping everything from going to "THE CLOUD" http://www.ditii.com/2010/11/18/how-to-turn-your-windows-phone-7-into-a-usb-mass-storage-drive/
Docsmitty thank you so much for the info.
I've been tearing my hair out wondering how the heck am i gonna do this. Syncing via bluetooth through my laptop doesn't work (says hd7 wont accept file transfers) I tried uploading to gigasize.com, no luck, and I've tried emailing, but there's n email system big enough.
Anyone have ANY idea how i can transfer random files over for the HTC HD7?
SkyDrive is an option. Cloud-based storage free with your Live account (hotmail, msn, live)
This link will help with that.
http://social.answers.microsoft.com...7/thread/56adcec6-08ce-4d86-aa67-27dda1433fa0
thank you, I will give it a try! much appreciated
didn't end up working, the file i have is 100MB, the limited space on skydrive is 50MB =[ close but no dice, are there any other altenatives? can i bluetooth from one phone to the other?
My SkyDrive Account has 25 gigs?
I pay no money.
Ahhh. Individual file limit of 50megs.
yeah..... i MIGHT MIGHT have to truncate my class textbook into two halves =[
Okay I figured it out halfway if anyone is interested, I've used the site http://www.bonpoo.com/ ..... there you can upload it and email the link to your hotmail for your HD7.... then you can download it via browser, i just don't know how to KEEP it on the HD7 =[

Hi!
Try to set you screen lock to never:
Settings -> lock & wallpaper -> Screen time-out: never
Than try again the steps described in post #9.
After finished set back screen lock time-out to original value to preserve battery power.
Regards,
Cina.
Doesn't seem to work, but thank you for the insight =] I really appreciate everyone's help but i think i've come to terms with just simply giving up.... I'm reinstalling windows 7 and XP so i might jump back up and try it once more
You can try to e-mail the files to yourself or you can try other online storage services
Although the methods previously suggested might work, and they do with several limitations, I wouldn't advise them as they will either leave your files lost in the middle of hundreds of e-mails or pile your office hub in a completely unorganized fashion.
My solution is much better; simply create OneNote notebooks, organized anyway you see fit, insert your files and sync them to SkyDrive.
When you sync them with your WP phone you will have your pdf files organized and always available.
Never tried this method with any file larger than 50Mb but with smaller ones works like a charm
Cheers
