I created a encrypted partition on my Kingston USB drive (
/dev/sda
) using VeraCrypt.
I was trying to format the partition using GNOME Disk Utility after mounted the partition using VeraCrypt (/dev/sda2
-> /dev/mapper/veracrypt1
-> /mnt/crypt
), but I got an error.
Now, my USB drive is not recognized by my computer (runs PopOS 22.04 LTS
and Windows 11
).
GNOME Disk Utility show a device /dev/sda
with no size.
Command df
, fdisk
, testdisk
, dd
, fsck
, e2fsck
can not find the medium /dev/sda
.
Command lsblk
found the device sda
, but size is 0:
