BitLocker Repair Tool - Recover Drive in Windows 7 and 8

[Rcreators]

Hi Brink,

That is what i am worried about most. Basically Drive is not password protected. its just encrypted and having issue with decryption. I also have recover key separately copied. so is there any chances now ?

 

[Brink]

It'll just depend on if it will be able to successfully finish decrypting.

I enabled bitlocker for boot volume and after "test" restart got blank screen. Some commands:

Thank you in advance for any suggestions because I don't have a backup(

Hello Malcolm, and welcome to Eight Forums.

That doesn't sound good at all. You might try restarting the computer again to see if you may get a BitLocker failed message, and then return to Windows.

Otherwise, it's looking like it may be time to clean install.

Thank you!! This code saved my files:

I'm glad it could help PaladinLeonitus, and welcome to Eight Forums.

IMPORTANT!
Make sure you try Brinks recovering guide before you try anything else!

I learned the hard way.
Getting recovery programs is usually not the best. I basically dug my own grave on this. Wish I found this guide earlier.

Thank you Brink for still being active and just as helpful via PM as this thread. I appreciate it all.
