I resized a VeraCrypt encrypted partition D: so VC doesn't mount any more. To restore partition size exactly I should know first and last sector number of the partition, then I can restore exact partition size using testdisk.exe. Firts sector number is no problem to find out because it should be last sector number of C: plus 1, and C: is still ok. But how can I determine the last sector of an encrypted partition??? Some info I got said VC would hold the first <n> bytes containing a header as a backup...

encrypted partition resized I have resized an encypted partition by Windows data device manager and so VeryCrypt no longer can access the partition. Unfortunately I only know the rounded partition size, and trying out all integer megabyte sizes returning the rounded size fail. I have read somewhere that VeraCrypt stores the partition size in its header. Is there a chnace to read out this header in order to get the correct number of sectors used before resizing?

I have volumes encrypted with VeraCryptPortable.exe under Windows for external USB disks as well as local partitions. Both worked well. For simple mount processing I have created bat files working fine for months. But now mounting an external USB disk I get this error message: *** until further notice portable devices are not supported *** because device IDs reported by VC seem to change simetimes while mounting the same disk on the same PC using VeryCryptPortable.exe still works without problems....
