Windows 10: Extract data from encrypted M.2 driver with Bitlocker

I have HP Spectre X360-13--4002ne. I left the laptop in our office. A huge stone fell on laptop because of the explosion in Beirut two days ago.

I connected the laptop to external screen but it is not showing anything.


The M.2 drive is safe. I am wondering if I can extract the information if I attach the M.2 to an enclosure drive.


We apply Bitlocker policy to our computers. Is there to decrypt the Bitlocker via CMD if the M.2 is readable on another computer please?

how to recover data from bitlocker encrypted drive without the key?

I don't believe there is a way of doing this, that's the point of encryption to prevent this sort of activity. If you have no way of getting the key I would suggest restore from backups.

 

Data Recovery from Bitlocker Encrypted Drive Fail

Hi friends,

I'm using Windows 10, Version 10.0.18363 Build 18363

I'm in a bit of a jam. Thanks to a faulty USB cable, my 8TB external hard-drive disconnected while decrypting the data. And so now it's not accepting my password, which I know is correct.

I get the first following error:





So I did some googling and found these instructions:

How to Recover Data from Damaged Bitlocker Drive

I bought another 8TB hard-drive, formatted it and executed:

repair-bde E: F: -pw –Force

This went to 100%, which some errors reading specific sectors (which the article outlined). But when I went to run chkdsk as recommended, I got the following error on the output drive (F:\)





I also get the following error when I attach the output drive from Windows:





When I get the disks in DISKPART, the corrupted drive seems to still have something on it, even though it went to completion with repair-bde.





I'm at a loss, my next step is ddrescue on Linux, but I'm not even sure that would work with a, presumably, still encrypted drive.

Any help would be greatly, greatly, appreciated. It's family photos, all that jazz, so I need to do everything I can to get it back.

Thanks!
