I'm a new Veracrypt user. I encrypted my system partition on my SSD and that worked fine. However I get the above error (see attachment) when trying to encrypt one of the two partition on my 1TB harddisk. Either one gives the above error. I've tried checking if there was any issue with the harddisk (HD Tune) but found none. I have not found any solution through Google. Does anyone know what the cause could be?
Post to the forum the results from running the following tools in the posts below provided by the developer to help them troubleshoot your issue if they are able and have the time.
Thanks for the repsonse. See below for output from both tools. I also added a picture of my partition layout in Windows. The partitions giving me problems are "G" and "M" which are dynamic. In the picture you can see that partition G is formed from two older partitions (I removed another partiition long time ago and extended the G partition). The GetDriveSizeInfo tool seems to give a fail notice for partition G.

List Drives Tool:
https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/68e97b10/#409f/69cc/6d64/e6b0
And using the drive letter for the partition you are getting error.
Get Drive Size Info

Bump. Any reply would be appreciated.
