de/en-crypting + power outage ( or other disruption ) = gone forever.
Try booting up the Windows 7 DVD, when you get to the first screen hit SHIFT + F10.
Type is DISKPART and try and clear and format the external drive.

Next time...do not encrypt an entire 500 GB hard drive.

Also, get a UPS because it will save your PC in more ways than one.
