| Post subject: | Corrupted TrueCrypt Partition (header) |
I have the same problem like OP from this thread: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/ ... on.327959/ I couldn't reply in the old thread, so I have to create a new one.. I recently allowed Windows to initialize the drive and that destroyed the header. 1) This is what I had at the beginning. I was able to mount my drive in TC: ![]() but unfortunately I was not able to see any data, there was no partition: ![]() 2) Then I created in WinHex partition's starting offset file: Test Outer.tc I used starting block 1048576 and ending block 5048575 I was able to mount this file in TC, so everything went well 3) I have created partition in DISKPART (Create partition primary offset=1024) 4)now I see partition in TC, but I can not mount it because I get error message "incorrect password or not a TrueCrypt volume": ![]() 5) now I have header's copy in file Test Outer.tc , partition on my encrypted hard drive (but I can not mount the drive anymore longer because of "incorrect password") now in WinHex i probably need to restore Test Outer.tc to the disk post number 19 in this thread described this: http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/ ... st-2089995 but I dont know how to do that and I dont want to experiment ![]() Could someone help me? I think I am pretty close to succeed |

I have seen this situation a couple of times when in my cases Windows appeared to 'repair' the partions and so damaged the Truecrypt header in the process. So do you have a rescue disk? Have you previously made a full image of the drive? If the answer is no then I suggest you do that right now! Normally I would boot from the rescue disk and either repair the header or run a full drive decrypt. Have you tried booting from a cd or usb and decrypting with your known password? You would then run software recovery tools to scan for the partition and files if required. I know my suggested procedure is the easy method. Maybe you have already exhausted these options? |
