Truecrypt partition Recovery
Posted: 05 Oct 2014, 11:10
Hi,
I'm really after some help. I have a 250Gb HDD has worked normally full truecrypt encrypted single partition with bootable OS, Win 7, NTFS.
Problem:
Pre boot authentication message appears, enter known password but fails to go beyond TC bootloader into OS. This happened for no reason, no changes in TC config or password etc.
Tried mounting drive in a working system with options such as mount with pre boot authentication / use backup boot loader etc, TC message "incorrect password, not truecrypt volume"
I have then run Testcrypt, no partitions found.
Windows sees it as a RAW formatted drive in MMC, offers option to format.
I have then run Testdisk > Shows a partition, select type 07 NTFS > list bad boot sector etc
Is this standard output for Testdisk for TC, anyone have any recovery options, I do not have the TC restore CD.
Any help appreciated!
