Some really important info was leaked from our private IRC channel on our own server. Luckily, it was something that most people wouldn't believe without real proof, which the leaker didn't really have. So we're glad to have not been in a real shit-hit-the-fan situation yet. Can you find the weak link, or atleast offer suggestions on how to stop this from happening again? [more inside]

I am about to install TrueCrypt for the first time. My aim basically is to encrpyt the files in my USB stick. However, during the process of creating a volume, there is a notice that states:
"if you encrypt a partition or device, all data currently stored on the partition or device will be erased."
What is the best way to create a volume in a device like USB stick without losing the data already in the stick ?
