I recently accidentically deleted a TrueCrypt volume. I was able to recover it using Recuva, but now it seems the volume has been corrupted. Mounting it first fails with the message "Incorrect password or not a Truecrypt volume" and I'm possitive I'm using the correct password.

I then tried mounting while using the "Use local headers if available" option, and then it worked. But to my disapointment I then discovered the mounted drive was empty and I was prompted to format it before I could use it. Obviously, there's still something wrong with the volume file.

ANY suggestions are more than welcome.

    It would surprise me if you would be able to recover the volume. Even a part of it. In order to successfully mount the volume and access its contents, 100% of the volume must be recovered. If even one tiny sector had been overwritten during the time it was deleted, chances are the volume is fubar.
