Hi,
Running Windows 10. Veracrypt 1.24 update 7.

A couple of days ago my drive starting sounding dodgy, clicking in a bad way, had issues accessing files. It's a data drive, not my main system drive. I started backing what I could up, but as I was backing up the drive appears to have unmounted itself and now I can't see it to re-mount it in the list of partitions/devices, so can't repair any header. I can see an unitialised drive in disk management in windows, but pretty sure I don't want to reinitialise it. Any way of getting access to remount it so I can reattempt backing stuff up before giving up on the drive entirely please?
