Data recovery from bitlocker encrypted usb drive
Hi All: First i like to request that in less than 24 hours i am flying so your quick response will be highly appreciated. Now inshort, i encrypt my external usb drive with bitlocker, during decryption accidentally it get disconnected. Now from that point when i ever plug in usb drive (250 GB) it's start blinking, i put it for more than 24 hours to check if it can be automatically recovered but no use. Then go on blogs and i found some command to repair like repair-bde -i: -rp "xxx-xxx............." but for every repair command with -Force it says volume is not accessible or in use. I am using windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit. Please your help will take out me from ____.

I guess by interrupting the process, you corrupted the filesystem. Because of the encryption the usual recovery tools will not be able to recover any data. Then the only thing that would be helpfull are the bitlocker tools. If they cannot acces the volume,... well, I am afraid your data is lost. I hope you have a backup.MCP/MCSA/MCTS/MCITP
