Veracrypted, now won't boot

[Mr Darren Hibbert]

Veracrypt is seriously winding me up!

Yesterday i fully encrypted my drive, when i restarted, it said NO BOOT DEVICE. I checked the bios and all was ok. It never even asked for the password and pim, just said no boot device. I inserted the rescue disk and tried the bootloader setting, that didnt work. I then fully decrypted the drive back to how it was, but still wont boot. I tried using a windows disk to repair it but they all failed. Now I have an unbootable computer that I wish i hadnt touched with Veracrypt.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Daz.

Just to add. Even though I fully decrypted the disk, it still asks for the Veracrypt password on boot. I enter the password and it comes up with whats in picture 1.

Since you decrypted the OS, press the ESC key when you are presented with the VeraCrypt bootloader screen to see if Windows OS boots.

If that works and with Windows booted, open VeraCrypt GUI and select decrypt system encryption to see if VeraCrypt is able to restore the Windows bootloader when you reboot.

Didn't work unfortunately.
