I only could read the mounted partition, but mounted by Veracrypt.Follow the below steps to install veracrypt Linux full disk encryption in Ubuntu 16.04 – A best truecrypt alternative for Linuxīefore start the installation of Veracrypt Linux full disk encryption app package let’s update the packages & repositories of Ubuntu 16.04 using below command.

I failed to get the tool to record the raw Windows partition. I would like to see if you theory is correct and tried to to measurements with wxHe圎ditor. I am having the interoperatbility problem with a encrypted partition between Windows and Linux with a standard WD MyPassport 4TB HDD, which I think is quite a common device.

Can you please run the tool ListDrivesTool available at and report the output associated with your these elements show that nothing can be done on the software side since this is really a communication issue with the disk for which I have no explanation. One thing I suspect is that the partition you are using doesn't start on an offset that is multiple of 4096. If official Linux binary of wxHe圎ditor doesn't work on your machine, you can use the one I compiled from source and that is available at. If my analysis is correct, you will not get the same value. Is it possible for you to put the disk in different encluser and see if it works better?Ī test that you can do is to use the cross-platform application wxHe圎ditor to read the content of the first sector of the encrypted partition on both Linux and Windows.

Repaiting filesystem will have no effect because the issue is at sector level and it is caused by the fact that the disk enclosure is not returning the same data at the same offset between Windows and Linux.Īll these elements show that nothing can be done on the software side since this is really a communication issue with the disk for which I have no explanation. I suspect that in your case this has to do with the MantisTek USB enclosure that you are using for your HD: somehow after connecting it to Windows, it changed the way it is communicating with the host (firmware update?) and so after putting it back to Linux it doesn't expose the same disk sectors view as it did before. This is impossible normally since disks expose their sector the same way across all operating systems. Since the backup header didn't work on Linux while everything is OK on Windows, the only explanation is that the offset of data on physical disk are not the same between Linux and Windows! Thus, VeraCrypt doesn't read the same data on Linux and on Windows. Updated just new to 1.23BETA and still does not work! I am amazed, how do I get this working on Linux? Same settings still applies on the Linux dist, so I try with 'TrueCrypt Mode', still not works. 'Auto-mount failed due to one or more of the following: When typing the same password used on Windows and previously in Linux when decryptning I got this error message below:

#How to use veracrypt in linux windows 10#

I succussfully mount the external into Windows 10 and edit some files and here is where my problem occurs. Usage: I been using this encrypted external only on Linux (Kubuntu, 17.04 with the same VeraCrypt version stated above) with no problems at all.

Installation: Encrypted the external fully with VeraCrypt Stable (1.22, march build) and used 'Standard VeraCrypt volume' with the AES(Twofish(Serpent)) and SHA-512 and no special PIM, lastly I checked the 'I will mount the volume on other platforms'.

Problem: My encrypted volume (external 2.5') was working perfect when using Linux, I tried mounted it on Windows and now it does not work in Linux. This is a very weird issiue I am having where I generally try to troubleshoot myself if I have a problem, although this is on a whole new level.
