VeraCrypt / Forums / Technical Topics: volume does not contain a recognized file system

Michael David - 2022-06-02

Hi, today I was trying to mount my hidden volume but I realized that it gives me such an error, I have followed this post before and it did not work for me, does anyone have another solution?
The content of the drive is very important to me.

I cannot open the link to the error message, but from reading your topic headline, I guess the filesystem within the volume got damaged.
You could try to mount the volume without actually mounting the file system (there's a mount option for this). Then you could try to do data recovery to the raw partition within the volume.

  I don't have that option, as you can see here: https://ibb.co/GcYVDj0 (version 1.25.7)

Please upload screenshots with your messages. I always get a "file deleted" (see "deleted.jpg").
For the mount option, refer to the screenshot "do_not_mount.jpg". You will have to click the options button first to reveal additional options.

    The Windows equivalent would be "Only create virtual device [...]". But be warned, Windows tends to being unable to access mounted VC volumes with unmounted filesystem. In that case you would be better off using a Linux (live) system for data recovery.

      So there isn't any better solution for me? other than recovering my data? because recover things never worked well for me :(

        In case your volume's file system got scrambled, there would be no other solution than data recovery.
