It must be followed by a parameter indicating the file system to use for the
volume. The parameter can have the following values:

/noisocheck or /n Do not verify that VeraCrypt Rescue Disks are correctly burned. WARNING:
Never attempt to use this option to facilitate the reuse of a previously created
VeraCrypt Rescue Disk. Note that every time you encrypt a system

use the same password. A previously created VeraCrypt Rescue Disk
cannot be reused as it was created for a different master key.
