Research direction
Start by reviewing the PhantomDrive links in the issue and locating VeraCrypt's hidden-volume size selection and warning logic. Determine how the reported size mismatch could be explained or guarded against; done means VeraCrypt gives users actionable guidance about choosing a safer hidden-area size. The issue names no source files or tests, so first trace the relevant UI and validation paths.

Description
Desired behavior
There is now a USB called PhantomDrive. It's failure is its hidden area is much bigger than unencrypted area.
Similar issue could happen to Veracrypt. Veracrypt should suggest user to pick a better size for hidden area.
