Information provided by: Aleksei Abalmasov. Problem Summary: Uninstall of TrueCrypt. I installed a new solid state hard drive on my Dell Latitude laptop running Windows 7 Pro. Everything was fine and functioning perfectly. I then installed TrueCrypt so that I could encrypt the entire hard drive. I created a key disk as part of the process.
The installation did not work, and I then uninstalled TrueCrypt. However, even after the uninstall, when I boot up my laptop, I must enter my TrueCrypt password, and the next screen then gives me a message saying that Windows failed to start, and I have a choice of Launching Startup Repair or Starting Windows Normally.
When I start normally, Windows loads and everything is fine. I did try to do a system restore in Windows to a point before I installed TrueCrypt, but this did not work either to get rid of the bootup problem. Problem Summary: Trying to remove TrueCrypt. Have managed to decrypt my hard drive but TrueCrypt has left a partition and I can not access it to delete it. Problem Summary: Truecrypt on my laptop and I don't have password. I have true crypt loaded on a laptop but no longer have the password.

I used Truecrypt to encrypt an entire internal storage drive the is 2GB in size. It is taken 46 hours to complete. That is a little too long for me so I want to know how to stop the encryption before it completes? Problem Summary: Passwords Access. There was a read me and other info about the company.
Part of the Read Me was a program called TrueCrypt. I followed their instructions to create a encrypted drive. But now the USB isn't recognised by my computer. I located it in TrueCrypt and tried to mount it but the password doesn't work. This cannot be because I know the password by heart and have been using it for ages on other programs and for my computer.
I am running Mac OS X I tried to find it in the Disk Utility but I don't have permission to edit it. Is there anyway I can just remove all the data on the disk and repair it? All the files on the disk are not important and all data can be lost. Problem Summary: After decrypting drive,. I had an entire system disk encrypted with Windows Vista installed on it. There were some issues with windows booting occasionally, so I tried using the recovery disk and decrypting the whole system so that I could try and copy some files off of the drive and repair windows.
After decrypting the drive with the rescue disk, I recieve the "Error: No bootable partition found" message. I have tried restroing the true crypt boot loader from the rescue disk as well as the original system loader. I then booted the system up into Ultimate Boot CD for windows, and tried looking at the drive, which it detects no partitions on So then I looked at the drive using a hex editor, and all I see is random data, nothing at all, making the drive look like it was never decrypted.
The only text readable is the "True Crypt" boot loader text. Any ideas on what is going on? The decryption process said that it completed succesfully, but I can't even see intelligble data in a hex editor. Didn't think it would work since it has been decrypted Do you have any suggestions as far as recovery?

Continue reading this article to learn about the proper methods for uninstalling TrueCrypt. Most applications in Mac OS X are bundles that contain all, or at least most, of the files needed to run the application, that is to say, they are self-contained.
Thus, different from the program uninstall method of using the control panel in Windows, Mac users can easily drag any unwanted application to the Trash and then the removal process is started. Despite that, you should also be aware that removing an unbundled application by moving it into the Trash leave behind some of its components on your Mac.
To fully get rid of TrueCrypt from your Mac, you can manually follow these steps:. Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder in Launchpad, and select All Processes on the drop-down menu at the top of the window. First of all, make sure to log into your Mac with an administrator account, or you will be asked for a password when you try to delete something. Though TrueCrypt has been deleted to the Trash, its lingering files, logs, caches and other miscellaneous contents may stay on the hard disk.
For complete removal of TrueCrypt, you can manually detect and clean out all components associated with this application. You can search for the relevant names using Spotlight. Right click on those items and click Move to Trash to delete them. Besides, there may be some kernel extensions or hidden files that are not obvious to find.
In that case, you can do a Google search about the components for TrueCrypt. If you are determined to delete TrueCrypt permanently, the last thing you need to do is emptying the Trash. If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, you can right click on the items in the Trash and choose Put Back in the list. In case you cannot empty the Trash, reboot your Mac. You may not notice that, there are a few of Mac applications that come with dedicated uninstallation programs.
Though the method mentioned above can solve the most app uninstall problems, you can still go for its installation disk or the application folder or package to check if the app has its own uninstaller first.
