It is important to look for such kind of information. When a hidden volume is mounted, the operating system and third-party applications may write to non-hidden volumes information about the data stored in the hidden volume (e.g. Even when the outer volume is mounted, it is hard to prove whether there is a hidden volume or not. Hidden volume is a volume hidden within the free space of another TrueCrypt volume. It is important to look for anything that might be used as a keyfile (such as a 1024k file on a USB stick). TrueCrypt also supports keyfiles (it uses the first 1024 kilobytes of any file, but can also use it's PRNG to generate such keys).

Another solution is that can brute-force password to the file-based encrypted volumes.
AccessData's Password Recovery Toolkit and Distributed Network Attack ( DNA) can both perform such an attack, but DNA is faster. The only option for acquiring the content of a dismounted TrueCrypt drive is to do a brute-force password guessing attack. You may also need an additional datafile. Once the system is shutdown, the contents will be inaccessible unless you have the proper encryption key generated by a user's password. If you encounter a system that has a mounted TrueCrypt drive, it is imperative that you capture the contents of the encrypted drive before shutting down the system.
