Hey, I have a pretty big problem.
I accidentally answered windows drive managers question to initialize my disk with yes, but it was my encrypted backup drive instead of the disk I wanted to initialize.
So it wrote a new mbr to the disk, but on that disk was an encrypted partition created with ubuntu 10.04 integrated drive manager. It offered to do a full disk encryption, so I choose that.
Am I correct in the assumption that it used cryptsetup with luks?
I did a backup of the header some time ago with cryptsetup -luksHeaderBackup. I restored this backup to /dev/sdd,
but I still cant access my data. I am really really desperate right now, what can I do?
Gparted shows an unformatted drive.
Thank you very very much,
aonir
Edit: solved my problem, I did not restore the header I had, I failed to type yes in uppercase, so no operation was committed. Restoring the header worked.
