    Hello francki3, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

    The BitLocker recovery key is something that you would have needed to already have backed up to be able to use to recover with.

    If you don't have it, then you will not be able to recover the drive.

    HI,
    I hope someone can help me.
    I have a thumb drive locked with bitlocker. I had pulled it out without safely ejecting it, and now everytime i plug it in the computer does not recognize it. It just says "removable disk (H:)" and i cant open it.
    I would like to retrieve my files from the thumb drive as soe are quite important.
    Tried using elevated command prompt and BitLocker Repair Tool from your tutorial but didnt work.

    Please help. Thanks

    Hello Haren, and welcome to Seven Forums. :)

    The drive doesn't appear to be encrypted by BitLocker looking at its icon.

    As a test, use the command from the tutorial below to check BitLocker status for the drive.

    manage-bde -status H:

    What does Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) show for the drive?

    As a test, try connecting it to a different USB port to see if it may be an issue with this one.

    Does it do the same on another PC?

    diskmgmt.msc just say "no media", and yes --on all other computers i tried. It was working well just few days ago. This is what i mean by the computer does not recognise it

    It appears that the USB flash drive may have died on you.
