Hi Guys, I have accidentally formatted my encrypted external HD with Windows' quick format. I have read some articles that had helped me to learn how to restore the TC header and I have done it successfully. I have also mounted it perfectly. Here is the problem: When I mount it, TrueCrypt isn't showing my files. TrueCrypt creates another logical drive (with another letter) and I can't access my files. When I double click, Windows shows a message that the parameter is incorrect. I know that my files are still in there because today I executed a recovery program and I saw my all files in the HD, however I can't open the drive with Windows Explorer and access them When I open the physical drive on WinHex the program gives me the following message: This volume uses more than the maximum number of clusters supported (2^32). Warning: Unsupported FILE record size! Drive D: Cannot open "$MFT". Unexpected data at offset 3D435D879E32B400 and offset D2DAE4399C00, Res=1, Res2=1 Here are some information extracted from WinHex as well: Truecrypt Size Volume Properties: 1000203573248 Total Capacity: 932GB (1,000,203,835,392 bytes) Subtracted Number: 262144 Bytes per sector: 512 Physical disk: 2 Used Space: 332TB These files are very important for me as well. Could you help please how to solve this problem? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you
I tried to open the physical drive on WinHex one more time and there was a new message: This volume uses more than the maximum number of clusters supported (2^32). Warning: Unsupported FILE record size! Cannot read from Drive D:. Sector 8,622,021,282,830,682 does not exist.

Guys, I really need a help to solve this problem :/ I've got good and bad news. I've recovered almost all files using the software "Recover my Files" after that I mounted the partition on TrueCrypt. The problem is: ten files were corrupted and I really need them because they're the most important for me. The software "Recovery my Files" also has showed me some files called "Recovered Partition Files". I believe that can recover the whole partition with this data, but don't know how. Is there anyone with enough knowledge to explain me how I can do it? Please, help-me !! :/
It was posted almost two months ago and I didn't get any answer. This forum was a completely deception for me Lost important files
