Decrypting Truecrypt Read Error

testowe Registered Member Joined: Nov 6, 2013 Posts: 2 Hi, I have encrypted system partition 55gb. My hdd have problem i guess bad sectors there. My windows cannot start. I launch my hirens cd, try mount it /without pre-boot/ and it works - i saw my data. Next decrypting truecrypt hard drive i launch my truecrypt rescue disk and use decrypt partition system. On about 97% it stucks: read decrypt truecrypt volume without password error:16 sector 620698729 skip all sectors? y reamaining... So i back to hirens CD and try mount it to backup all data, but TC tell decrypt truecrypt without rescue disk me that i must first decrypt partition (bcs it started) and i cant mount it. This 97% files are decrypt or not? only 30mb left to decrypt whole partition...probably this 30mb are bad sectors. I have very important data there. What i can decrypt truecrypt full disk encryption do to decrypt this data or mount this partition? ps sorry for my english Last edited: Nov 6, 2013 testowe, Nov 6, 2013 #1 dantz Registered Member Joined: Jan 19, 2007 Posts: 991 Location: Hawaii You're in pretty deep, but you got here by committing several big mistakes: 1) You didn't have your important data backed up in advance 2) While troubleshooting a serious problem, you didn't back up your important data as soon as you got the chance 3) You attempted to decrypt

a damaged hard disk After booting to the Hirens CD and seeing your data you should have backed it up immediately. That was you best shot at success. Now, however, you are stuck with a partially-decrypted volume and your task has become much more difficult. There is an approach that you can try, but it is highly technical: Briefly (and don't try to do this without skilled assistance, because this is just a general overview, not a complete step-by-step solution): 1. Use a hex editor to save the 97% (already decrypted) portion of the partition as a file. (TrueCrypt decrypts from back to front.) 2. Make a backup copy of the current TC header (in Sector 62) 3. Restore the original TC header (from the TC Rescue CD) to the disk. This will restore your ability to mount the volume using the "mount without preboot authentication" command, but it will also cause TrueCrypt to lose track of which portions of the volume have been decrypted, so don't do this lightly. 4. Slave your drive to another one, or use a boot CD, and mount the volume "without preboot authentication" 5. Use a hex editor to copy the unencrypted first 3% of the partition (in a decrypted state, since it's now mounted) and save it as a file. (Ignore the remaining 97% of the volume) 6. Assemble (concatenate) the two file fragments together, being very careful to get the border between them exactly right, otherwise the resultant file won't decrypt. This is the trickies

For more information, see Disclaimers. Can TrueCrypt http://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/truecrypt-cannot-decrypt-system.355590/ and VeraCrypt be running on the same machine? Yes. There are generally no conflicts between TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt, thus they can be installed and used on the same machine. On Windows however, if they are both used to mount the same volume, two drives may appear when mounting it. This can be solved by running the following command in https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=FAQ an elevated command prompt (using Run as an administrator) before mounting any volume: mountvol.exe /r. Can I use my TrueCrypt volumes in VeraCrypt? Yes. Starting from version 1.0f, VeraCrypt supports mounting TrueCrypt volumes. Can I convert my TrueCrypt volumes to VeraCrypt format? Yes. Starting from version 1.0f, VeraCrypt offers the possibility to convert TrueCrypt containers and non-system partitions to VeraCrypt format. This can achieved using the "Change Volume Password" or "Set Header Key Derivation Algorithm" actions. Just check the "TrueCrypt Mode", enter you TrueCrypt password and perform the operation. After that, you volume will have the VeraCrypt format. Before doing the conversion, it is advised to backup the volume header using TrueCrypt. You can delete this backup safely once the conversion is done and after checking that the converted volume is mounted properly by VeraCrypt. What's the difference between TrueCrypt and VeraCrypt? VeraCrypt adds enhanced security to the algorithms used for system and partitions encryption making it immune to new developments in brute-force attacks. It also solves many vulnerabilities and security issues found in Tr

I have already encrypted about 5 or 6 out of 40. I still have a few questions before we go all out with TrueCrypt. Can I decrypt a hard drive by plugging it into my desktop using a data transfer kit? I tried this and the hard drive showed up asking me to format before using the volume. If I have the TRD from each laptop backed up do I still need to backup the volume headers? What else do decrypting truecrypt read I need to back up? Thanks. encryption truecrypt disk-encryption share|improve this question asked Aug 29 '12 at 14:55 Blakeg08 21112 6 Did you read the FAQ at the truecrypt site?...truecrypt.org/faq –Moab Aug 29 '12 at 15:02 1 I will read over it more thoroughly. I think the FAQ indirectly answers the question but I would still like to know if anyone has had any hands on experience with this issue. –Blakeg08 Aug 29 '12 at 15:10 @Blakeg08 - You need to do the research before you come just asking for "hands on experiences" otherewise you will ask additional questions already answered by a FAQ. –Ramhound Aug 29 '12 at 15:26 Decrypt is very easy and quick to use. Just try it on a small thing. Like creating a virtual drive with a few pictures in it. I suggest using Truecrypt first as a test, as to say "decrypt a truecrypt drive pulled from another machine" doesn't make sense as far as I know (And I don't know much). What truecrypt does is it creates a virtual drive which it stores as a file. So you can't pull a virtual drive from a machine!!! Truecrypt is far less invasive than that! –barlop Aug 29 '12 at 15:29 @Moab I think he is under such a misconception about how truecrypt works, that the FAQ wouldn't address him. The FAQ does not address his misconception. –barlop Aug 29 '12 at 15:31 | show
