The official TrueCrypt forum has some discussions on this subject. The primary objective is to get the data out. How can I do this?Ģ) Is there a tool that can recover the directory structure? Freeware is desirable but I will consider paying for a product that has a high success rate.ģ) Is it possible to work some magic and fix the damaged file system itself? This is not terribly important though. If I can mount the backed up hidden volume using TrueCrypt, I might have a chance of recovering more data. However TrueCrypt does not mount it further. However I did not purchase the product because I could not read files displayed in its preview option.ġ) I can mount the backed up hidden volume (a. Some data was not recovered.ĥ) I also used the demo version of GetDataBack. The problem is that directory structures and file names were lost, which is a complete bummer and does not really help. It did not fix the damaged file system.Ĥ) I then used PhotoRec for recovery.
Yes, I knowģ) I let TestDisk do its thing on the hidden volume. I know I should have backed up the entire disk but I had storage space constraints.Ģ) Don't ask me how but I managed to write some more data in the outer volume without protection. What I did next follows (in sequential order):ġ) I took a backup of the damaged hidden volume using TestDisk. From what I can understand, this means that the header is not damaged.
While TrueCrypt still mounts the hidden volume, the file system has been damaged and Windows cannot read it. While I'd gotten off lightly on several occasions, this one time I did not Unfortunately I was not aware of the need to protect the hidden volume while writing in the outer volume. I'm currently using TrueCrypt 7.0a on Windows 7. A hidden volume was created underneath the outer volume. I have a 500 GB Seagate Freeagent disk, which I encrypted using TrueCrypt 6.0 on Windows XP a long time back. I'd appreciate any inputs you guys may have. I recently discovered this forum and thought it'd be a good place to get some advice.
