    Power outage during disk encryption


    I was in the middle of encrypting my hard drive (Around 80% done) when power went off. When it came back on, I tried booting the machine and it asked for a pw, I entered the one I had set during the encryption process but it rejected it. Is there any way of restoring the drive without losing any of my data? The machine has Windows 10 Pro on it.

    Thx

    :)

    Will Upgrading to Windows 10 Reset My PC?

    - Power Outage

    - Glitch during migration

    - Incompatible hardware

    Bitlocker corrupted my external hard disk drive. Who would pay for the loss?

    Suppose I can bear the loss of data still my hard drive is ruined. It does not appear in disk management, hangs the entire PC and not just mine every other Windows operated PC. So, Does bitlocker causes power failures in external hard disk drives during
    encryption or it simply ruins their boot sectors to make them secure? How was that the healthy drive fails so badly after bitlocker encryption rendering it useless.
