Error encrypting my Windows 11 Pro drive with Veracrypt
Hello!!

I have a "Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3" laptop to which I added a 1TB hard drive (HDD) where I installed Kali Linux. The other 500 GB disk (SSD) has Windows 11 Pro installed on it. Windows is installed in GPT partition mode and I have EFI.

When I try to encrypt the Windows drive, I get the warning shown in the first image. It says that the boot system is not found on the disk. If I continue with the encryption and try to test if everything works, I get an authentication error as if I had entered the wrong passwords, but I entered them correctly... I have no problem to format windows and kali linux, but I already did it several times...

What should I do?? Please help!!!!

Hey there! It seems like a tricky situation. To resolve this, try decrypting the drive, checking BIOS settings, and ensuring Veracrypt is compatible with your system to enhance the gaming experience.
