Posted this on the truecrypt support forum to but this site gets a lot more traffic and I know alot of you guys use truecrypt so here it goes:

I bought a new computer and plugged installed windows 7 on a non encrypted drive but had my truecrypt drive plugged into the computer at the time. Now when I try to mount the drive it is saying incorrect password ("i know the password is right". I tried to restore the backup headers or what not, tried everything within the TC software but nothing works. I heard I can quick format it and make an image with get databack but since I might only have once chance to restore this drive I want to make sure I know what I am doing. This drive has my backups for over 5 years and is extremely important for my business. I hope someone can guide me in the right direction.
