BitLocker Drive Encryption - Unlock a Locked Data or Removable Drive

Dear All

hi.

i really face problme.

i have a external hard. i apply bitlocker on my hard. i have the recovery key.
the problem is that as soon as i conect the hard to my laptop, the system is not responding ( hanging).

i need the data in my hard, so plz let me know is there any way to open my hard???

I have an external drive. I tried to encrypted it with bit locker. The process was failed and stope in the halfway.
And now i cant access to the drive. Passwords and recovery key are useless thought they are correct.
i have tried like the way you describe but it is not working.
what should i do?

After decryption process halted, I am unable to access my drive. Windows always asks me for password, but password doesn't work, recovery key as well doesn't work.
I tried to format drive with diskmgmt and diskpart, but it failed with error that drive is write protected. I could remove the write-protection flag with diskpart attributes disk readonly clear, but it has still an "actual" write protection state, which seems to be not editable.
I tried to do some regedit hacks without a result.
With the program "M3 Bitlocker Recovery Free" I was able to access the volume with the recovery key. Also this program shows a partition 0 on that drive with FAT32 and NTFS volumes, wicked. Why can't I access that drive with manage-bde or repair-bde and recovery key but with that 3rd party tool?
I'm really lost, how can I override the MBR of that drive and remove completely the bitlocker, I just want to reuse the drive, I don't need to recover the data. I still have it on my PC.
I also tried to flush the USB with a Low Level Formater and Mass Production Tool from manufactorer, but always fails with that freaky write-protected error message.

Any ideas/help?

Hi All

Please assist me as I am a little bit desperate to recover my data from my old OS drive.

My drive crashed because of bitlocker and I had it replaced with, now when I plug in my old drive into another machine and I enter my recovery password/key to decrypt the drive it just says not responding and hangs there until I force close the application.

Is there anything I can do to work around this?
The first time I tried, it worked and gave me access to the drive and I was quite relieved because I thought my drive was okay, now I cannot access it.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
