Hi,

After unplugging and replugging a SATA cable I found that I could no longer boot into my Ubuntu 14.04 OS. After passing the BIOS screen with my target drive I get a blank screen with a cursor that doesn't seem to recognize any input besides ctrl-alt-delete. What I want to do is to recover the contents of my home folder. The bios and recovery software both recognize the presence of my drive, but have been unable to do anything beyond that.

I ran the command: cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 sda1_crypt -v
from prompt root@localhost on the rescue cd
After entering my passphrase I got the following lines:

Key slot 0 unlocked.
Requested offset is beyond real size of device /dev/sda1.
Command failed with code 22: Invalid argument

I can tell that it still recognizes the passphrase used to encrypt the drive, but I'm still doing something(s) wrong and any help would be appreciated.

Here is my drive info(not sure how relevant/helpful it is)
931.51GB/976.76GB
63 sectors
MBR: Free Dos(eXtended Fdisk) 0xFAB8001

Partition1:
size: 2.00 MiB
Type: Linux native
Bootable: Yes
Start: 501760
End: 505855
ID: 83

Thanks!
