Veracrypt volume mounts but doesnt open - WinHex help needed

Hi everyone, this forum seems incredibly knowledgeable, and I think my problem is fixable. Dantz, im looking at you


So recently my Veracrypt volume (file) has become corrupted and is now a RAW file. I am still able to mount it successfully, but when I try to access it says the file is not supported and tries to format, etc.


Following an old thread by Dantz I used Winhex on the drive when it is mounted and am pretty sure it decrypts properly as I can see text strings of the data. However, attempting to create a new partition to recover the partition tables I am stuck. Using the offset point of 1048576 does not create a usable volume, saying there is an issue when trying to decrypt.


At this point, I need a way to recognize when the Veracypt header starts in the string of numbers, but I'm not sure.


Any help would be appreciated. Seeing the text strings has me hopeful that the data is not lost.

 

Nevermind - after a further deep dive in Dantz's threads I found that all I needed to do was use data recovery software on the mounted partition. Cheers!
