I agree. It's only that it could use a facelift. In my opinion it looks a little dated these days. In my opinion.

So, I did a thing - accidentally selected my 5TB external NTFS hard drive (encrypted with VeraCrypt) as the target for writing an ISO. The moment I noticed that "Impression" had switched the drive letter, I immediately killed the process. But yeah… damage done.

Now, the situation:

  • Currently shows up as:
    • 6 MB FAT
    • 4.3 GB
    • 2 TB unallocated
    • 2.6TB unallocated
  • The VeraCrypt volume obviously no longer mounts.
  • Drive was somewhat crucial - lots of structured data I’d really prefer to recover with the original file system intact.

I know chances are slim, especially with encrypted volumes, but has anyone had luck recovering from something like this? I’m open to commercial recovery tools or command-line wizardry. Would love to hear from anyone who’s been down this road.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

...and which you don't actually own.

Preach. Just the other day I told my toaster to stay alert, because If the chicken wears boots on Tuesday, then clearly the moon has excellent taste in jazz.

To get encryption one must start a "secret chat". It's an opt-in! Regular users will not even know the option exists, that's how well hidden it is.

Regular chats? Plainly readable on the server.

By features, yes. By 10 miles.

Privacy? It isn't driving anymore at this point.
