A few weeks ago I had a hard drive which was very slow to read any files (upwards of 10 minutes just to open a folder) and started giving errors if I tried to copy anything over, or would copy files at about 200kb/s. Through my research I found a great little tool called ddrescue and was able to (after a grueling 14 days) create an img file of my entire drive (2Tb) onto a new and larger drive (4Tb).
The original drive had 2 partitions. My normal everyday use partition, and an encrypted partition which was made with Veracrypt. When I open the .img file with 7zip, I see 2 partitions and both are the correct sizes. 0.ntfs (regular partition) and 1.ntfs (encrypted partition). I can very easily open 0.ntfs and have already backed up files from there to this new drive. Now, I want to access this encrypted partition and pull off my most important files so I can delete this .img file and save a lot of space and start fresh.
But there's a problem. Obviously, double clicking and trying to access 1.ntfs directly does not work, and if I try to move the .ntfs file out of the .img file, I get this error: "The object invoked has disconnected from its clients".
So, I'm lost. How can I, at this point, use Veracrypt to mount this .ntfs partition? I can't seem to find a way to make it look in the .img file, unless I'm missing something.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated! Thanks!
