It's not the primary boot disk but a data disk. It took 16 hours to decrypt it off the rescue disk. I finally got the message: Updating header . . . Done!
Drive decrypted.
Do I just power it off, stick the drive in the secondary location in the computer (where the data drive goes) and then try to access the data? Or do I also need to do something else like restore original system loader?
I already went through this once, it said the drive was decrypted. During the last attempt, I used a program to get all the data off the data drive in the raw format, without mounting it. But once I looked at the files, they were all in the .GZ format, or encrypted. That drive is also missing the partition table.
What can I do this time to ensure the drive is actually decrypted and how do I access the files? I installed another instance of VeraCrypt and it cannot mount the volume no matter what settings I pick.
My data disk does not decrypt. I am using the rescue CD that was made for the boot disk that went bad. The data disk contains the volume or the container, how do I recover it?
