    Veracrypt not possible with GPT drive system


    you see the image attached?

    hi btw *Smile

    I want to encrypt my computer but veracrypt seems to be incompatible with GUID. can I keep my windows installation and convert to MBR so that I can encrypt?

    Or should I go with the now dated and discontinued truecrypt? are there any free alternatives besides bitlocker?

    :)

    > I then re encrypted the Windows 10 drive using TrueCrypt and it is working fine.

    Good news. However, I assume it is only possible with "old" MBR partitions, not "new" GPT ones? And it's not only Trucrypt's problem, same goes for TC's forks like VeraCrypt or CipherShed, if I'm not mistaken...

    Can't do a check disk on VeraCrypt volume, VSS-error

    Hello,

    Regarding this concern, it would be best that you send a feedback to the developers of the said program. We're not sure what hinders CHKDSK when the VeraCrypt is running. One thing is for sure, this program is developed for Drive protections and that could
    be the reason why VeraCrypt thinks that the CHKDSK is harmful to the system.

    For further queries, feel free to post back.

    Regards.
