    Hi all,

    I have an old External Backup HDD which I've encrypted (Full disk encryption) with TC few years ago, and it's an hidden partition...
    I haven't accessed the drive for more than a year, and I know the password, but I get "Incorrect password or not a TC Volume".
    So I can't access it and I suspect that there is something wrong with that HDD's Header, but I want to make sure before I trash it.

    And I have tried with TrueCrypt on Windows8.1 and I have also tried with VeraCrypt on Linux (on TC mode) but no luck!
    Both Windows and Linux see the hidden drive when I click on "Select device" and it's on: \Device\Hardisk3\Partition1
    I tried to mount in by clicking "Select device" by selecting the Physical disk, and the Partition itself (like I used to), but no luck!

    I don't know if it helps, but I already tried other method with no luck, because unlike in his tutorial
    I couldn't see the "TrueCrypt Boot Loader token"! Maybe something went wrong with my External SSD? or perhaps it's because my HDD is hidden?

    Also, I have opened the drive with WinHex and tried @dantz tips from here, and I don't have any zeros, I have random characters!

    What can I do in order to access my data?

    Please help,
    Thanks!
