Hello guys, so i was using truecrypt then veracrypt for years without any problems, now I'm using a file 1GB container for my personal info, passwords and such.

I've installed a fresh copy of windows, now when I try to mount the file, it does work normally, but the partition say the error :"Disk structure is corrupted and unreadable".

I've checked with data recovery SW, found some files, pdf and images, but all the .txt not found.

I even tried another working copy from my external HDD, it didn't work, so I've used the container on other PC, and gave the same error.

If the problem with the HDD, then the external HDD one should work fine, and if it's a PC problem then it should've working on the other PC, but it did not.

I have no idea what to do here, please help me because I have no backups for this data. thanks in advance.

EDIT: the container is standard, not hidden or contain anything hidden. encrypted by files. no password.

I have the save issue. After Windows installation I have "Disk structure is corrupted and unreadable", but in my case 30 GB are lost.
