BitLocker Problem
Hi
I have windows 7 ultimate x64
few days ago i wanted to try Bit locker on one of my external hdd (120GB NTFS HDD)
while encrypting the hdd (around 40% encrypting) , the cable was removed by mistake and i got blue screen and windows restarted
when i tried to connect my hdd, its asking for bitlocker password to decrypt it
when i put the password it give me error : "incorrect function"
after searching i find that there is a tool called bit locker repair tool (repair-bde)
i tried to use it to decrypt the hdd but it stop decrypting on 56% and don't give any error after waiting for hours for it to continue then i have to end it.
today i checked again and i find this info in Microsoft tech net page:
Does anyone know any other way to decrypt the hdd or get my data back ???The following limitations exist for the Repair-bde command-line tool:
Repair-bde cannot repair a drive that failed during the encryption or decryption process.
Repair-bde assumes that if the drive has any encryption, then the drive has been fully encrypted.
thanks in advance for your help
