Loaded EaseUS backup environment onto a USB, tried to rebuild MBR and scan fix, says it successfully rebuilt the MBR and that there were no errors apart from no F: Parameters set.
Got the drive mounted but couldn't access anything. Managed to mount it but it was being buggy, took like 10 attempts and every time it would be random. I tried using Veracrypt.exe in a new Win 10 OS, and tried to decrypt it using my PW and pin but it came up with some errors. I think this might have more to do with Veracrypt MBR being corrupted potentially, or that Arconis has set it to try and boot with a different MBR but its not working. I don't want to have to fork out £400+ for professional recovery. I'm really struggling for options and have a lot of my companies documents on this HD along with personal documents. Made a bootable Windows 7 usb key, as the old HD is on win 7, cmd prompt also didnt work. Also tried disk part commands to make the hard drive primary and active after I made the new one also active, so try and see if this would be an issue due to both harddrives conflicting as they both are sent to active. I was using a Windows 10 USB bootable key to get into cmd prompt, tried the Bootrec commands didnt work. Veracrypt has it's own boot and I somehow need to disable Acronis from booting (if its doing that). Upon reboot I got MBR error 1 and MBR error 3.Ī google search comes up with tonnes of complaints about the software corrupting hard drives, especially encrypted hard drives as it somehow messes up the boot on it.
It didn't give me any warnings about ecoling encrypted hard drives, so it needed to reboot. I didn't have much luck using mini partition wizard so I tried Arconis. I needed to clone this drive to a new HD for safety as it was old. I recently encrypted my HD with veracrypt, all good and working.
Having a really big issue right now, hoping I have not lost a 9 year old hard drive with a huge amount of valuable data on it.
