What about resizing an encrypted system partition / volume? Do you have a procedure for that yet? I'm trying to work one out. What I know so far is that using Gparted to move it doesn't break the bootloader, but does bork the windows boot process, presumably because the offset to the EFI / boot directory has changed. This theory is reinforced by the fact that moving the partition back to the exact cylinder start stops where it was previously positioned on the disk restores the boot process with no additional repair steps. For that reason, I wouldn't expect a Header Restore to fix that particular problem. Perhaps a VeraCrypt Recovery Disk to repair the EFI entries? Still testing... Let me know if you have a solution to this.
Hello please answer this question. After encrypting the drive, what happens if your battery dies, windows shutdowns for no reason or if you hold the shutdown button on your pc let's say?
@@TomBH the question is that. "what happenes if you take the battery off from laptop while it's running?" Would that crash the encrypted hdd or it works afterwards without a problem?
@@TomBH Yes this is absolutely possible!! Try UA-cam-ing "Hidden operating system veracrypt". You will have to actually install the OS twice (the real one and the decoy one) and they do NOT have to be the same OS. For instance, you could set up a Linux distro as your real, personal OS and Windows 10 as the decoy OS. If you are ever placed in a state of duress (ie, extortion), you can give up the password to the decoy system and the aggressor would only find Windows 10. Done correctly, the presence of the hidden OS should be completely undetectable since it is still encrypted. The veracrypt user documentation on their website discusses hidden OS deployment in great detail, and several precautions you should take when using your hidden OS to avoid detection.
Testing verify that the the keys created can decrypt the cipher, that there is nothing preventing the OS to load VeraCrypt and etc before VeraCrypt encrypts the partition
Bro e come faccio a codificare una partizione disco, con un os nascosta, se noti quando provi ad andare su 'sistema' > 'codifica la partizione o disco di sitema', non mi da l'opzione tipo di codifica di sistema nascosta, ti prego aiutami, sono disperato
Translated by Google: Bro and how do I encode a disk partition, with a hidden os, if you notice when you try to go to 'system'> 'encode system partition or disk', it won't give me the hidden system encoding type option, you please help me, i'm desperate. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will try to make a video about it
Can u please show an example where you choose dual boot. I am trying to figure out how choosing dual boot modifies the veracrypt boot process. thx
I will try to get to it later in the series

Haven’t tried it yet
Hello please answer this question.

I'm not sure I understand the question. The cipher text is written on the hard drive itself and should not change after shutdown.
@@TomBH the question is that. "what happenes if you take the battery off from laptop while it's running?" Would that crash the encrypted hdd or it works afterwards without a problem?
Is it possible to encrypt a system drive and depending on my password shows the fake operating system or the real One?
As far as I know, VeraCrypt doesn't support that option.

Can you use your pc or laptop while doing the full disk encryption?
Technically yes but I don't recommend it
Great Job!
Thanks!
