Truecrypt works on a "container" basis. It shows up as a new drive
letter.

The container can be ANYTHING. Usually it's a file on your main drive.
It can as easily be a partition on your drive, or a whole flash drive.

A container can even be hidden in another truecrypt container, making it
almost impossible to know it's there.

Once you "mount" the container (after entering your password) the
encrypted volume is just another drive letter (or mount point if using a
*nix based system).
