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.

my computer is rubbish, the only good thing about it is that it has cost me nothing to build as i have salvaged the components from freinds, everything including the monitor was free gratis!
Try using "Recuva" - see free program list. First do a normal scan then a deep scan if required. A deep scan can take quite quite some time.
