Partition tables changed by Windows (LUKS)

Welcome to Manjaro!

Disk A: Manjaro as a main system, Disk B: Windows

There are no A: and B: drives under Linux, but there is HD0 and HD1 or SDA and SDB etc. Please read this:

[HowTo] become a Manjaro power user when you're a wizard at Windows but a N00b at Manjaro / Linux

Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆☆ Remember when you installed your very first Windows, added bells and whistles and then couldn’t see the wood for the trees any more and had to re-install? Well, you’re in the same situation now: You’re a N00b again! Embrace it! I know right now you’re thinking:

Why is this so much more difficult than Windows?

[HowTo] Post screenshots and links

Difficulty: ★☆☆☆☆ You’ve probably been sent here by a more experienced user because you cannot post links nor screenshots so please follow the simple instructions of this tutorial below to allow you to post both screenshots and links in any post and have a short explanation of why you can’t do this easily… If you’re reading this in response to a question, please click the green link above this text to bring you to the full unabridged text of the tutorial itself.

Do you have some kind of system backup including an MBR/GPT backup?

If not, please post the “How it was before” as text, please… (I.E. a picture of how the disk partitions looked like before is of no help: we need the exact sizes with a precision of 1 MByte to recreate what you had before)

I.E. something like this:

sudo parted --machine /dev/sda unit MB print;
BYT;
/dev/sda:256061MB:scsi:512:512:gpt:ATA Micron_1100_MTFD:;
1:1.05MB:106MB:105MB:fat32:EFI system partition:boot, esp;
2:106MB:123MB:16.8MB::Microsoft reserved partition:msftres;
3:123MB:51662MB:51540MB:ntfs:Basic data partition:msftdata;
4:51662MB:52736MB:1074MB:ntfs:Basic data partition:hidden, diag;
5:52736MB:104276MB:51540MB:ext4::;
6:104276MB:224100MB:119824MB:ext4::;
7:234585MB:256060MB:21475MB:linux-swap(v1)::swap;

Also, please ensure you have an additional disk disk larger than or identical to the disk you want to recover: We’re not going to touch the original but work off a copy so in case we mess up we can take another copy leaving all data intact on the original!!!
