    I’m away from home for two weeks carrying files in an external USB 3 HDD completely formatted as a Truecrypt volume (HD is NTFS formatted I think). I can mount the volume in Truecrsaypt, so it shows up as a drive, but cannot open it. Windows claims it is not formatted. Tried it on 3 different PCs with different versions of Windows (XP, Vista, W7, with same result)


    When I first mounted the volume, Truecrypt said the header was corrupt and I replaced it with the Restore Volume Header tool, with apparent success ie no errors reported. – don’t know if this is relevant)


    I have a backup at home but need to access files here. Any suggestions, please?
