Good day,

I was busy decrypting a drive when there was a power failure. After the power was restored, I was happy to see that the decryption process continued once I turned on the PC. It was short lived, as the decryption subsequently paused stating: "This disk has one or more errors. Run chkdsk /r"

The problem is that when I try to run chkdsk, it gives me the following error: "The type of the file system is RAW. CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives."

This is an internal drive (not the boot drive) that was formatted as NTFS and then bitlocker was applied to the entire drive (not just the part that was used)

Please advise how I can get the decryption to resume, or how to get CHKDSK to scan the drive. At this stage I can access the drive, but then it gives me a "cyclic redundancy check" error.
