  1. Data Recovery from Bitlocker Encrypted Drive Fail


    Hi friends,

    I'm using Windows 10, Version10.0.18363 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!

    :)
