Hi there,

first: thank you for this great tool. After TC was abandoned, I was happy to use VC instead.

Now I've got an issue, creating a hidden volume on a whole 4TB drive using VC 1.24 U7. When I reach the "format" step, I always get an error message telling me that I should use < 2TB or a drive with sector size of 4k. My drive actually has a physical sector size of 4k, so I'm a little bit lost here.

Additionally, I'm quite sure that this worked before with the exact same drive, a few years ago. But I'm unsure if the volume was created using Windows. I no longer use Windows, so I cannot confirm if it would still work.

Please help! :-)

Hey there. Gonna push this a little bit. Maybe someone has still an idea what's going on.
