Hello Guys,
I have a unforunate sitaution. My mainboard got broken because of the change of my cpu from a computer building computer, and sadly I dont have the rescue disk, and the system drive was encrypted.
I asked myself If I could connect my M2 to a different computer and open the system drive with my password on veracrypt? so i can still backup all my files ? Would that be possible ? I couldnt find a answer
On another Windows computer, install the same VeraCrypt version as used on the original damaged computer.
Install your system drive into the other Windows computer as a secondary drive.
Use the Select Device button to select the OS partition of the secondary drive.
When you are on the password screen, click the Mount Options button to enable the "Mount partition using system encryption without pre-boot authentication" option then click OK.
Now on the password screen, enter your password and the PIM value if you are using a custom PIM value. For the PKCS-5 PRF value, select Autodetection or select the correct hash algorithm you used when you encrypted the system partition.
Then copy the files off the mounted drive to another drive.
