Wanted to preface this by saying I read through a number of other truecrypt threads here and didn't exactly find a solution. I'm hoping it's not too late. Let me paint the picture: -There is one hard drive in the machine... referred to going forth as Disk 0 -Created two partitions...one for the OS and one for file storage. -Installed (windows Server) about a year ago on the C: drive. -Stored files of importance on the second partition (F: drive) -Decided at some point to protect that drive and installed truecrypt. It essentially hid the entire F: drive until I mounted it which then made it visible/usable. -Fast forward a year plus... I wanted to blow out the windows server OS and replace it with Win 7. -Before doing so, I did a truecrypt volume header backup (saved to another system) -During Windows setup, tried deleting the C drive/partition to prepare it for a fresh install. Got an error that I hadn't seen before: "cannot be installed to this disk the selected disk is of the gpt partition style" -The fix for that error was to run 'diskpart' during the windows setup routine. Those steps were: -> run diskpart -> list disk (find the one you want to convert) -> select disk 0 (select the one you want from the list) -> clean -> exit -I was then able to create the new C drive partition, but it in the process blew out the F: drive where my truecrypt drive/volume resided. -Ignorantly, I thought that if I could get the OS up and loaded, that I could run truecrypt, point it to my truecrypt volume header backup and be back in business....this wasn't the case. -In Disk management, there is a fair amount of unallocated space which used to be my F:drive. Stuck with what to do....if there is anything that I can do? I managed to have backups of about 2/3rds of the files in that lost volume. I would sure love to get access to the remaining 1/3rd. If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate it.
I should have noted, that when I try to load the Truecrypt Volume Header Backup, it lists the volume, the drive, and its correct size. States that its 'Normal'. When I try to open or view it however, I receive an error stating: F: is not accessible. Reached the end of the file. Two pics here: http://imgur.com/a/kMRJu in case it helps any.
