[Solved] Partial Encrypted BitLocker Data Recovery

I accidently shut off the power while encrypting an external hard disk with BitLocker. The encryption procedure was almost finished. Currently, disk management reports that the BitLocker encrypted drive is an unknown partition that cannot be accessed via My Computer. I don’t want to format the drive because the data is so important. Is it feasible to partial encrypted BitLocker data recovery?

BitLocker has partially encrypted the HDD in this situation. Even if you are unable to open the drive with the password or recovery key, you can still retrieve data.

BitLocker recovery tool is a professional BitLocker data recovery tool. It can recover data from partial encrypted BitLocker data recovery, recover data from failed or stuck BitLocker drives, and so on.

BitLocker data recovery, as opposed to regular data recovery from BLR Tools, requires entire BitLocker metadata and a password or 48-digit BitLocker recovery key to unlock data from a BitLocker encrypted drive.

Methods for recovering files encrypted with BitLocker

Step 1: Download, install, and launch BLR data recovery tool on your Windows PC.

Step 2: After selecting the partially encrypted BitLocker drive, click Next.

Step 3: Enter the BitLocker recovery key or password (48-digits).

Step 4: Inspect the data on the partial encrypted BitLocker data recovery.

Step 5: Once the scan is complete, you can preview the documents, photos, audios, and videos to see if your lost files can be recovered.

Step 6: To begin the recovery process, select the files you want to recover and click Recover.

Step 7: Manually examine the recovered data.

This manual analysis phase is critical when attempting to retrieve data from a partially BitLocker encrypted device. A partially encrypted BitLocker drive implies that some files have been encrypted while others have not.

Step 8: Select the “Revert decryption” option from the Help menu and recover the files again if any of the restored files are inaccessible.

You must carefully analyze the recovered files when attempting to extract data from a partial encrypted BitLocker data recovery since BitLocker drive encryption is a disk level encryption solution that does not leave an encryption mark in the files.
