I don't have VeraCrypt installed on the linux (I had problems with dependencies to install), but I have the TAILS linux in a pendrive... I booted the TAILS. There , there is one program called "Unlock Veracrypt Volumes"... When I tried, it was shown an error saying that couldn't unlock /dev/sdc4 (the linux could see specificaly the partition 4) because invalid parameters were loaded. I will try to use the Portable version that you said and if does not work I will think about copying the /dev/sdc4...

I only took the HDD out, to put the 2nd SSD... The only change was in the 1st SSD (that I formatted). And like I said, the EFI partition to boot the systems that were in the 1st SSD is in the HDD.... The only thing is that the HDD does not have anymore "the presence" of the systems that were in the SSD... It's very confusing...

Yes ! You are right ! I remember that when I used to mount this device before all the problems, I didn't select the whole HDD, only the specific partition with 1.8 TB ... but now windows can't see this partition (in the image attached), but linux can see (in my last post)

Hi ! Now I understood everything what happened.... In the beggining, I bought the notebook and it came with an HDD of 2.0 TB. I made 3 partitions (400 GB Windows, 400 GB linux, 1200 GB for data). Then in this year I bought a SSD. I decided to split it to Windows and Linux , and use the old HDD only to data... And I was facing this issue of bypassing the veracrypt bootloader with ESC and decided to buy other SSD and use 1 to win and 1 to linux.... When I removed the HDD from the notebook and inserted...

There is one partition with 1 MB that I created before installing Windows the 1st time and encrypting, because VeraCrypt asks a space before the beggining of the Windows partition.... Do you think that I could erase everything in this partition and try to encrypt again to see if solves the problem with the "wrong password" ?

Yes, now in the pre-test is good that the ESC Key was allowing me to bypass the bootloader, since the password "was wrong"... But I was saying about the initial problem, when everything "was encrypted" and I presses ESC accidentaly and bypassed the bootloader. I tried again now to encrypt using other password (because I was using the same as before decrypting) and again the message was wrong password.... Yes, after I decrypted, the bootloader was removed. Maybe I will have to backup everything and...

I decrypted and tried to encrypt again. Now the problem is that the pre-test fails due to Wrong Password.... But I didn't insert the Wrong Password.... I tried to encrypt 4x and the same result on pre-test... Wrong Password ... It's an absurd to press ESC on the password screen and bypass the encryption.... It's an absurd to type the right password and the pre-test saying that it's wrong... Windows always wanting to be unsecure....
