    A little more info will get you help quicker. What OS are you using? What, how did you encrypt it the drive, etc.

    alright, i am using windows xp and i used true crypt to encrypt the drive, it recognizes the drive and when i double click it, it says do i want to format it, which i then know the drive is being recognized. So i try to mount it, but i can't and i am 100% sure i am typing the password correctly.

    Thank you for you response, i really appreciate it.
