TrueCrypt Failing to Decrypt External Hard Drive after changing Enclosures
- by Anx Ara
I have a 4TB external hard drive that was previously encrypted using TrueCrypt. The power source on the hard drive enclosure failed, so I had to switch the hard drive itself into a new enclosure. I can no longer decrypt the hard drive using TrueCrypt, as it says my password is wrong. I am certain that I entering the correct password.
Additionally, in TrueCrypt, when I try to mount the volume under "Select Device", it shows the following:
Harddisk 5: 3.6TB
Device\Harddisk5\Partition 1 H: 465GB
Whereas before I changed the enclosure it would show:
Harddisk 5: 3.6TB
Device\Harddisk5\Partition 1 H: 3.6TB
I am on a Windows 8 PC and using TrueCrypt 7.1a. How can I get it to decrypt properly?
