Hi,

I'm trying to permanently decrypt a non-system drive, previously encrypted with VC.
I select the device and click on the item "Permanently decrypt..." in the Volumes menu and always get this error :

Error: Veracrypt can in-place encrypt only a partition, a dynamic volume, or an entire system drive. Please, make sure the specified path is valid.

Is it possible to in-place decrypt a non-system drive ? If so, how to ?

Best regards,
Djibi

Additional information :
I run Veracrypt 1.17 64 bits on top of a Windows 7 Pro 64 bits system.
The drive is an iSCSI Target directly encrypted by Veracrypt. No problem to use it but no way to in-place decrypt.
