Deleted volume

October 7th, 2012, 7:43

Hello.

I have big problem. I wanted to hide encrypted HDD (by TrueCrypt), because Windows asks me if I want to format it every time I plug in it - that's annoying.

By mistake I've deleted volume of my encrypted HDD instead of deleting just letter from it.

I've added new RAW system file volume and I can still decrypt it by my old password. Nevertheless after mounting it Windows can see unformatted partition so I can't access my data.

I need your help to fix it. There was just one hidden volume on the HDD and it was formatted by NTFS file system.

I hope I can access my data again.
Thank you in advance.

Did you create the true crypt recovery disk ? http://www.truecrypt.org/docs/?s=rescue-disk IF not then bye bye data ! I haven't seen anyone recover truecrypt drives or volumes without this.

Thanks for reply. No I didn't.
But it wasn't system partition/drive.

So your telling me that during the creating of the truecrypt container you were not prompted to create a rescue disk ?

I'm not sure. Maybe I ignored that :/
