I just had the same "Woopsie" I 'did a quick format on a VeraCrypt encrypted HD. Per the earlier posts, I've been able to restore the VeraCrypt header and am able to login to the drive (assigning it a unused drive letter). When I try to access the drive in Win explorer, I get the "You need to format the disk before you can use it." message.

I've gone so far as to delete the drive letter assigned during formatting (as noted above), but have not yet been confident enough to delete the partition (again win created during formatting).

I'm not a super tech guy, so I could use some detailed instructions on possible recoveries. I have Recoverit and Acronis tools.

Next steps??

Also, will it be possible to recover the drive as it was retaining the file structure and hierarchy or am I just going to be able to recover the files in an unorganized fashion?

Thanks in advance for your help!!!
