I'm unable to expand ncrpted volume. I created encrypted 20GB ntfs volume and I want to expand it to 50GB. There is 200 of diskspace not in use, as of diskmgmt utility. Screens:
You have to first extend the partition using Windows Disk Management to occupy the free space behind it and then use VeraCryptExpander to extend the VeraCrypt volume.

When using VeraCrypt Expander to expand an encrypted volume on an external HDD to fill all 3.64 TB of the HDD, and having first extended the partition using Windows Disk Management to occupy the free space behind it, VeraCrypt displays the following error message:
I am certain that I am using the correct password and hash, and that I had not specified a PIM number. The unexpanded volume can still be mounted, but causes the following error when attempting to permanently decrypt it:

Am I doing something wrong? How can I expand the volume?
Run the VeraCryptExpander.
All Programs > VeraCrypt > VeraCryptExpander
That's what I've been doing - it's in the first screenshot.
Any help someone?

Hi,
Is it possible to extend VC volume in Linux (my case Ubuntu)
Extending VC volumes has been implemented only on Windows.
For now, there is no plan to port the source code of VeraCrypt Expander to Linux or MacOSX.

Am I missing something? Thank you.
