    Corrupt HDD + BitLocker + Data Recovery


    Hey guys, I have a BarraCuda 500GB 2.5 HDD. The HDD is failing. I checked with HD Tune Pro and it only gets about 2% error scan before it just fails and won't scan anymore. Lots of damaged blocks. The HDD is encrypted with BitLocker. I have the 48 number key. The laptop where the HDD was installed in wouldn't boot. So I installed the HDD into another computer using an external enclosure using Windows 10. The HDD is recognized as a BitLocked drive and asks for the key. I insert the key and it is accepted. But from there Windows fails to load it and it just hangs and eventually says the drive needs to be formatted. I am trying to get any data off this drive. I have some questions. 1. How do I permanently remove BitLock from the drive once I unlock it? Or should I permanently remove BitLocker to have a higher chance of recovering data? 2. How does recovering data work on a BitLocked drive? 3. Is there a specific tool I should be using to recover data on a BitLocked drive? 4. When should I attempt to repair the drive? Before or after I unlock Bit? If anyone has a step by step guide I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    :)
