I resized a VeraCrypt encrypted partition D: so VC doesn't mount any more.
To restore partition size exactly I should know first and last sector number of the partition, then I can restore exact partition size using testdisk.exe. Firts sector number is no problem to find out because it should be last sector number of C: plus 1, and C: is still ok.

But how can I determine the last sector of an encrypted partition???

Some info I got said VC would hold the first <n> bytes containing a header as a backup header in the last used sectos, but this seems to be wrong,because using HxD hex editor I serached for the first 16 bytes behind first sector and didn't find same byte sequence in the rest of the disk.</n>

Has anyone an idea what I can do to find the number of the last sector?
Thanks for each idea which could help me.
