Recovering a partially decrypted truecrypt volume
Posted: 12 Nov 2014, 10:52
So this is a bit of an odd one. I tried to decrypt a 2tb external HDD in truecrypt, however something has gone seriously wrong with the decryption. If I try to resume the paused decryption, the process never moves at all and effectively locks up the program. Nothing I have done seems to make it work again. No one on any forum has been able to figure out what to do about it, so I suppose the only option is to attempt to recover the data somehow with testdisk.
Since the volume can't be mounted anymore (obviously), how would one go about recovering it? Testdisk seems to indicate that it is indeed damaged somehow, but I can't figure out what to do exactly in this case, since it is partially encrypted. I'm on Windows 7 if that helps.
Thank you.
