    recovering data from partially encrypted drive




    i used bitlocker to encrypt, the process didnt get more than 10% done before failing, the result is a partially encrypted drive that is locked ( password and recovery key wont work) i need a program that will help retrieve the remaining data that is not encrypted.

Hello, I plan on installing Truecrypt and encrypting a second drive, to which I will put all my accounts data. I did this a while back and couldn't figure out a way to backup the faux drive with my Paragon Software. It would not recognize the virtual drive, nor the encrypted drive. I would copy...
Recovering data from a hard drive

My secondary hard drive recently stopped reading on me, though it seems like it still has the data on it (and it still spins, I can hear it turn on). For a while it seemed that putting it in the freezer for a while would allow me about twenty minutes or so of time to copy data (which I got some...
If you lose your data, be sure to check the recycle bin first. If there are no files in the recycle bin, there is still hope. Even though your files are deleted, the data may still be recoverable because the reference to the file has simply been deleted and not the data itself. As long as your...
