So, i have separated large 18TB drive into several partitions,
one I kept unencrypted, rest encrypted, but the smallest one i wanted to use to extend my unencrypted partition.
What I have done:
I opened win 11 disk manager and deleted the partition, then i expanded my unencrypted partition. Windows showed me some warning dialog, something about the drive not being bootable, idk the exact words and unable to find it right now. It didn't look dangerous so i clicked yes, now unfoprtunately, my partitions are not shown in veracrypt when i want to mount it. (eg. screenshot). What also happened is the partitions got unmounted instantly.
Google AI says I should use veracrypt tools to restore its headers which might work, worked for me when i accidentally clicked some prompt in disk management which suggested me to format my encrypted drive.
How to recover my partitons please, chat gpt says it should be obtainable back. In disk manager the partitions are shown but in weird green color.
So I assume partitions / data are recoverable (were on encrypted partitions). But idk why and want to rely on somebody with experience not just on chat gpt / A 😄
Its not an option for me to buy new 18TB drive and clone it for "testing".
If I will decrease the partition back, will it be... same as it was?
Thanks for the replies.
