I tried Acronis Disk Director Suite 10 yesterday but something has gone bad.

I have two partition encrypted with truecrypt. After resizing a partition, I can not mount it any longer. My question is, has DD changed something on my encrypted partition? How does DD work?

Before resizing:
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 - System, Windows XP SP2 (NTFS)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2 - Linux, Ubuntu 6.06 (Ext3)
- ~10 GB of free space here -
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3 - Linux Swap (swap)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4 - Truecrypt Encrypted partition (None Partition: 0x6 FAT16)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5 - Truecrypt Encrypted partition (None Partition: 0x6 FAT16)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6 - Backup/file Storage (NTFS)

after resizing of \Device\Harddisk0\Partition2
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1 - System, Windows XP SP2 (NTFS)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition2 - Linux, Ubuntu 6.06 (Ext3)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition3 - Storage, ~15 GB (NTFS)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition4 - Linux Swap (swap)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition5 - Truecrypt Encrypted partition (None Partition: 0x6 FAT16)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition6 - Truecrypt Encrypted partition (None Partition: 0x6 FAT16)
\Device\Harddisk0\Partition7 - Backup/file Storage (NTFS)

Hello blinkiz,

Thank you for using Acronis Disk Managing Software (http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/diskdirectorsuite/)

As far as we can see you have resized your Partition2 with Ubuntu Linux?

Most probably Acronis Disk Director Suite has not done anything to your encrypted partitions since it moves data on the partitions (if necessary) without changing this data. Could you please contact TrueCrypt Support Team to resolve the issue under consideration?

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact us again.

Thank you.
