dictum

I have an UEFI machine that's a triple boot: Windows 10-one, Windows 10-two and Ubuntu Linux. I want to encrypt the entire Windows-10-two disk but I don't want VeryCrypt to interfere with booting the primary disk. When I turn on the machine, I get boot options configured via BCDEDIT. I can select either of the two Windows disks, or hit F11 and chose Linux (Since BCDEDIT cannot manage Linux). So when the machine boots, I want to select Windows ONE and have it boot without any interference by VeraCrypt,...

It resolved itself, I clicked on "TEST" and now it's back. I swapped both SSDs and have had to do some bcdboot/bcdedit configuration. In short, something went wrong here. I don't think I will attempt it again. I don't know if it's that PIM issue. I think there is a bug in it as I certainly did not have "Use PIM" checked on. It was off, nevertheless when I booted, it prompted me again. Causiming me a stressful moment as I could not log in and thought I would have to do a recovery of some kind. Maybe...

Can you explain what you mean by that? You mean just the data section out of the drive?

I like to mirror my entire drive to another drive, i.e. create a snapshot every few days in case I need to recover my data. I use Macrium Reflect. However I noticed that if I encrypt the bootloader, the entire machine, the mirrored (imaged) disk no longer boots as a boot disk like it did when the drives were not encrypted.' So I decided to revise my routine. Therefore I am wondering if I should just encrypt the data in a container versus the entire machine and bootloader. Plus make several copies...

Update. Please close this ticket. The matter has been successfully resolved with the DcsFV tool. Which I found most useful in recovering the volume - thank you, Alex to the Nth degree. Double encryption was done to restore wrong decryption process and locate volume encrypted with the DcsFV script.

Please close this case, the latest version of DcsFV has worked wonderfully and found and decrypted the volume. This has been tremendously helpful. Thank you!

I have password. I did not use PIM. Everything else is sitll on the disk but it is missing the partition table. Does the missing partition table affect the header places? I will try to run your DcsFV tool to scan for the volume and try to decrypt it.

My primary disk crashed, replaced it and ever since it does not see data disk where the container resided. I recovered the encrypted data from the data disk used for the VeraCrypt volume, how do I rebuild it on another disk so I can mount it/decrypt it? Can I do anything with the raw data?
