Ok iv downloaded and run Truecrypt on my USB stick with all my Tor PGP and sensitive info on it then mounted it like it said...How do i know if its actually working? It shows on the list the name i gave it then my USB stick name etc ..but im just new to this software and wonder if you could tell me what it is that truecrypt is doing since i mounted the USB stick

Did you go through the process of making a hidden volume or an encrypted volume?
Then did you mount it using a drive letter so you can see that data in the volume?
That should tell you it is working. If you unmount the volume and try to read the contents you will just see a file
basically.
Is this what you are asking?

To see if it is working dismount the drive and then try to access it. You should be provided something along the lines of "drive is not formatted". This means the disk is unreadable at the present moment in time. Mount the drive and try to access it and if it works then it works.
