Please help me save the driver locked by BITLOCKER
Question
-
Dear all,
please show me any answer for this problem, it relating to BITLOCKER (Win 7).- I have an external driver (300GB) and it is locked by BitLocker. I set automatic log into my computer so when i used Acronis yesterday to split the driver to two parts, i did not remember that i had not removed Bitlocker from it.
- The result is, just after when i start splitting, Acronis noticed that occurred an error. I wondered and come back to open the driver. Unfortunately, i cannot open it because of an error. I think it relating to Recovery Key of BitLocker. I captured the error notice as below pic.
Any body please help me? Thank you very much! I really want to join my driver now because it contains all of my working data.

Hi,
Firstly, please check if you have kept the BitLocker recovery key.
If so, you can follow the steps in How to use the BitLocker Repair Tool to help recover data from an encrypted volume and see how it works.
If not, I’m afraid that there may be no method for the recovery.
Hope this helps.
