DDD

If I were in your situation, I would use clonezilla to make a copy, then I would put the hard drive into a hard drive enclosure, and try to access it using Veracrypt running on another system, mount without pre-boot authorization, see what you can access.

Thanks for the update! I was wondering why veracrypt.eu website wasn't working... so I came and looked here.

@ funthomas so you were copying a file into a VeraCrypt container and then the device the container was on lost power? You could try this thread: https://sourceforge.net/p/veracrypt/discussion/general/thread/a0536d9dc6/

Although Windows 10 version 1607 isn't supported, it's the latest version (I think) to support running Windows 10 on an external hard drive. It's no longer an issue for me, but that version of Windows was significant for me for that reason. But I hope it will be easier for you to update VeraCrypt now,

Are you using WD Blue internal SSD? or what? @ jayfontesulfate Oh, I should have read that a little more closely. I think I fried my internal WD Blue SSD after doing a decryption. It sure would be nice if VeraCrypt decrypter would write back the sector size as 4096 instead of 512.

good to know - it used to be that using the .iso and upgrading that way would cause that SAFE_OS error, so it had to be done using Windows Update.
