My encrypted disk has lost its ability to boot and I am unable to make a rescue disk from the recovery disk file as the file doese not contain an iso . I have tried several times to make a usb stick but always it says disk is write protected, even brand new ones....seems to be mission impossible. Any help here would be good.
Anyway I can mount it on another pc without booting but when I try decryption it fails telling me the password is wrong??? I am using the same password as I did to mount it.
After I attempt decryption, the disk demounts all on it's own.
I tried to recover an easeus backup of the disk from 4 weeks ago but I would like to be able to access my stuff for that time, any way to do that?
Thanks for taking the time to read this.👍

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I can do that and save my files, but I still can't use my pc. I mounted the
disk on another pc without the preboot, but when I try to decrypt the disk
it says wrong password.
I have tried 3 days solid now to make a rescue disk, I have tried all the
apps available and they all fail for many different reasons. not enough
space, disk is too large, not supported I have had so many red buttons
popping up it's not funny anymore.I even tried to make a cd but there is no
ISO file only a ZIP.
What used to take 2 minutes before to burn a CD has taken me over3 days
with still no result.
Is there any way to make it go back to the way it was before? you know
where Veracrypt done everything for you?
Maybe use an older version....I will give it one more try then that's it,
not worth all this hassle.

Put your system drive into another computer as a secondary drive and with VeraCrypt installed on the other computer.
Mount the secondary drive using the option " Mount without preboot authenication" to access and copy the files on the secondary drive.
I can do that and save my files, but I still can't use my pc. I mounted the
disk on another pc without the preboot, but when I try to decrypt the disk
it says wrong password.
