Alex512 meant that you can use VeraCrypt on the same machine to encrypt disks/partitions while you can leave DiskCryptor for Windows encryption and pre-boot authentication. I agree that this is possible.

What is not possible is encrypting Windows system with both DiskCryptor and VeraCrypt at the same time.
Absolutely right idrassi.

I am encrypting the partition (not the system partition) with DiskCryptor and then on THAT (encrypted) partition i use VC to create encrypted containers. It works perfectly since many years (even before with TC instead of VC). Absolutely safe with no problems with virtually all versions of VC!

I also have one VC container inside another VC container. Never had issues with VC not being able to cope with that. Works perfectly!

I once tried using DiskCryptor to encrypt the whole system (the C: drive actually), it worked fine for a couple of days and then I lost my data. So no more DiskCryptor for system encryption for sure!
