Sorry, I'm way too busy to put much time into this problem right now. Please help.that funny shaking you felt was my world coming to a complete stop. I DESPERATELY need to recover the files/filesystem.& hopefully with the original names intact (If I have to rename 100,000 file names.I'll just shoot myself now). I haven't had any problems with TC in years of using it (except trying to mount a volume whose password I had forgotten). I'm afraid of overwriting the backup header because that's the only way I got it to even mount.but I would REALLY like to secure a copy of it because it is apparently different from the one that I restored (that didn't work). I'm scared to do anything else after reading so many posts where one wrong click means you're toast. It repeats this four times (each time with different set of six 10-digit numbers) except one says 0 D FAT 16 <32M & the last one says 0 D FAT16 LBA. With ~78% of the "Analyse Cylinder" process complete it's displaying things like:Ġ D FAT16 LBA (then six groupings of 10 digit numbers) I am currently analyzing it using Testdisk 6.12.but I have to be honest.I'm not really sure what to make of the results that are still coming in. Some say CHKDSK, some say use CHKDSK & you're hosed. I find contradictory information about what steps to take to recover the data. It mounts.but the drive is not accessible! (I get the "This disc is not formatted, would you like screw yourself over & format it now?" message.I decline). I then try to mount it using the backed-up header. I follow the prompts & do the whole "move the mouse " thing & try again. I start googling & they suggest to restore backup header. Keeps telling me that the password is wrong.yada, yada, yada. I wanted to access my Truecrypt hidden volume. I shut down windows & disconnected the hdd & placed it back in laptop & gave it to the UPS man.įast forward to this morning. Everything was done & all programs (involved in the backup process.including explorer) had been closed for hours. As I wanted to eject (safely remove hardware) the laptop hdd & replace it back in the laptop, Windows kept saying it was still in use. I knew there was but didn't worry because I had enough space on the hidden volume. I tried placing it in the outer volume (after being SURE to enable write protection of the hidden drive) but TC said there wasn't enough space. Using EaseUS I made a backup & placed it on my Truecrypt hidden drive. The laptop wouldn't boot (cpu error) so I had to take the hdd out of the laptop, put it in a USB equipped enclosure & backup the data from there. like a good kid I made a backup of the laptop HDD before sending it off. Everything went swimmingly until I had to send my other laptop to be repaired. Have a Truecrypt encrypted 2TB external drive to backup (but ultimately be the new main central storage point) a myriad of older encrypted drives. I have a problem that has been talked about here but I would like to get situation specific advice. First of all this forum is great! Thanks to all who participate.
