Hi John, Are you suggesting an image of the disk does not correctly backup the boot parition correctly? Or that there is simply something wrong with my boot parition? So you suggest: 1. Create a fresh install of windows to a new disk 2. Replace the main encrypted image with my backup image 3. Using the Veracrypt repair USB, repair the boot parition Is that correct? Any ideas on how to do this from linux without having to run a windows install? I'm just trying to get the encrypted data from the disk,...

Any other ideas?

Hi Kurt, I've made an entire disk image using DD. The drive partition is GBT and the computer uses EFI boot. This is troubling. There are no partitions being displayed when you plug the drive in. dmesg -w does not show any partitions, but using parted -l I'm able to see the partitions on the connected drive. Equally, partitions are also visible using the disks utility in linux. Model: JMicron Tech (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 512GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/4096B Partition Table: gpt Disk Flags:...

Hi Mounir, Do you get the VeraCrypt password prompt and then Windows is unable to boot or the machine directly boots into Windows Repair? In almost all cases, it is not necessary to decrypt the drive and simple troubleshooting steps can make Windows boot again. Sometimes, it is just a matter of manually selecting VeraCrypt Bootloader entry in the BIOS. In other cases, using the Rescue Disk to restore VeraCrypt Bootloader fixes the problem. I placed the drive back into the laptop and when it boots...

Anyone?

I encrypted my system partition ssd using veracrypt 1.23 for windows but was unable to boot. I've decrypted the entire ssd using the rescue disk but was still unable to boot despite trying: disabling secure boot loading the original windows loader from boot parition After a few days of unsuccessful attempts I've decided it is easier to just retrieve what data I can from the disk using another system. I've removed the ssd and connected to another machine running Ubuntu to recover data using the veracrypt...
