Interesting points, thank you. I'll try that with my next drive. Actually I currently updated windows with the drives connected but gladly there's no problem mounting them after that. But it was only a small update.

Okay thank you for the information. As soon as I get another hard drive I'll backup all my files there and try some copy/verify tool.

The original problem is lets call it "solved" because I just formated those drives again. I encrypted the drives in windows. Last time it shows an error stating that the drive contains partitions and I have to switch from GPD to MBR ? After switching the drives to MBR it showed two partitions in the disk management and I enrcypted the drives by "Create Volume/Encrypt a non-systen partition/drive/Standard VeraCrypt Volume/...". I choosed NTFS and AES and for all drives the same strong password. What...

What do you mean with "verified"? I made the backups on windows and linux just by (dis)mount the volume /tools/"Backup Volume Header" and clicking through the process.

Well after I couldn't rescue my data the last time and lost like tons of data, I would like to know how I could asure that this won't happens again to another encrypted drive. I backuped my header this time but do I have to backup it when the all the data is on the drive, when it's empty or everytime I add/delete data? Actually I'm not sure what information the header contains and what the purpose of the header is at all tbh. What adittional steps could I take to prevent me from data loss again even...

Hey, just encrypted several drives with veracrypt 1.24 After formating the drives and copying my files on it, I had the issue that the old drive letters were still visible and I wanted to mount the encryped drives on these letters. In another forum they said in an older topic that I only have to delete the letters in the windows disk managment. I did that and now I can't mount my drives anymore. The error says "Wrong password or no Veracrypt Volume Source MountVolume:8334" I tried to mount the drive...
