None of the settings have been changed either, everything is the same. I have been entering it on a daily basis and I also have saved it in different locations. I am sure that the password I am using is correct. Now every time I try to mount mount the partition in VeraCrypt, it gives me the following error message: Operation failed due to one or more of the following: Looking back, the light on the HDD was still blinking, so something was being done, even though I had closed the applications that could have used the files. However, I failed to notice the warning and physically disconnected the external hard drive from the PC. Instead of successfully dismounting as I expected, it gave me an error message that some files were still in use. Today, after I had finished working with the files inside the encrypted partition, I clicked on the "Dismount All" button in the main window of the application. It contains two similarly-sized partitions, one of which (400 GB) is encrypted with VeraCrypt. I have a 1 TB Transcend external hard drive.
