Hello Mounir,

A user reported a problem when encrypting an existing partition/drive with Windows having already assigned a drive letter.

VeraCrypt gives the message that the original drive letter can only be used for decryption.

https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/2bec386849/

Perhaps the message should be changed to instruct the user how to remove the Windows drive letter assignment so the user can reuse the drive letter for VeraCrypt instead of mentioning the Windows drive letter assignment being only for decryption.

Also, leaving the old Windows assigned drive letter can lead to confusion of why the user cannot access the drive for non-power users.

Kind Regards,
Enigma2Illusion
