![]() The creators of EaseUse purposefully made EaseUse do this because they knew it sucked. EaseUse would spam the found file results with multiple duplicates, and forget getting back most folder or file names with them. I was using it for several years along with other recovery programs, and what do you know, I was never able to recover anything worth mentioning with it. I can say one thing for a fact, EaseUse data recovery is a rip off. I must get back most if not all of the folders also, with their contents still in them. Getting just the files back will leave me without dates/times, locations, and names. I made my own "tags" within the folder names. All of my files were organized by the folders. Sadly I will never be satisfied until I communicate with someone more knowledgeable. At this point, from my limited experience, I can use Ontrack to recover files from both drives, and hopefully, the problems are located at different areas of each drive, increasing my chances of getting most of my files back. This verifies that TrueCrypt is working and decrypting. Below is a somewhat play by play of the signature search. Due to my inexperience with WinHex, I am certain that I did multiple things wrong regarding the signature search settings that I did not understand. It took about 30 hours and found almost 900,000 files. I just completed a signature search (a form of comprehensive file header search) on one of the drives using WinHex. I was warned years ago to drop TrueCrypt. I was a couple days away from never having to deal with encryption again. I learned not to transfer files using the BLACX Duet, but forgot about it today when both were in that unreliable BLACX Duet. Sometimes while transferring data between two drives within the BLACX Duet, the speed would drop, then freeze. I learned soon after I purchased this device that it was unreliable. I believe the problem was caused by the divided speed of the BLACX Duet. ![]() This is too important and I will wait for direct help. I would have already began utilizing Dantz's previous help to others, but most of them seem to deal with Win7 and hidden containers, which do not apply to my situation. Can't believe I missed the aid of Dantz by 10 months. Either one, even the older one will have most of the contents that I need, so only one needs to be recovered. So I actually have three drives to work with. I still have that other drive, however I did perform some header restores. I had this same issue with another one of the encrypted drives months ago, but because my data was safe on other drives, I was not in a rush to investigate the cause. This problem happened while both encrypted drives were mounted while connected to a two bay hotswap external usb 3.0 open faced enclosure. As far as I can tell, my situation is somewhat favorable because I have two nearly identical drives that have the same issue, so I can experiment with one, while the other remains in the same state locked away. Every time I connected one of the encrypted drives, windows asks if I wish to format it but of course I never do. I never messed with keyfiles and have never been asked for them. ![]() I never used the hidden features that have two passwords and two headers to deal with. I never encrypted a drive in it's place, meaning that I always encrypted the entire drives before adding files. Hoping that the strange behavior would go away after I dismounted and remounted, I ended up with both of the drives mounting as normal with the password, but an explorer window says "the disk structure is corrupted and unreadable".Īll of my Converted family VHS, photos, videos, gone. Some of the folders would not disappear after I selected to permanently delete them. Then I began manually deleting the recycle bin. rar file to my desktop and extracted it with no issue and the extracted contents opened like normal. jpg image would not open with a warning that the file header could not be read. ![]() rar's parent directory when things began acting strange. rar file from within one of the encrypted drives to the. I rearranged some folders, deleted some files and ended up extracting an. Then I would copy the contents to new drives without encryption. The goal was to manually sync the contents as I do every couple of months. But that is why I have backups! Today I was in the process of organizing the contents of the two encrypted drives. The drive without encryption was stolen after my father passed away. I thought it was smart to have two of the drives encrypted with TrueCrypt, and one without encryption. My entire life has been kept on three different 2TB drives for the past decade.
