Hello everyone,

I open this topic with the hope that someone could give me advice on how to solve a problem with my hard-drive.

In short:
I have a Lacie external hard drive of 1 TB on which I created a partition to about 902 GB, one of about 50 mb and the remaining space is left unallocated.
After that I used TrueCrypt to encrypt the largest partition (902gb) with the non-system partition options.
For months I had no problems, but last week while the partition was mounted with TrueCrypt the system was restarted unexpectedly.
After rebooting, the TrueCrypt no longer able to mount the partition giving me errors password / no TrueCrypt partition.
I have restored the volume header, then i mounted the partition, but the system can not access the data.
I tried to restore the data using R-Studio and it works but I would like information on how to rebuild the filesystem without using recovery-software.

I am available for any questions.
Thanks for the acceptance
Best Regards

I have the same problem and I have Lacie external drive too!

I was too quick: I entered my password and pressed enter before windows had recognized the drive...
Now TrueCrypt gives me same password / no partition error.

Were you able to restore your data with r-studio?


I'm ready to donate money via paypal to anyone who can solve this problem.

I was able to recover most of the data.
Were you able to restore the volume header?
