PC 3000 Error Reading Bitlocker Partition

[Antoine]

Hi everyone,

I have a M2 SATA SSD Crucial and I can't read or copy the Bitlocker Partition. In PC 3000 I can read the 1 286 144 first sectors but after that It returns errors of reading (black sectors).

1 286 144 match with the beginning of the Bitlocker NTFS partition. I can also read from the end of the partition to the end of the SSD.

I tried other software like WinHex to see if i can read sectors, but it returns errors too and crash.

It looks like the SSD has a built-in protection that prevents reading. Or maybe is it a problem with the Bitlocker encryption.

Does anyone have any idea how to solve this ?

PS1 : The SSD is a system disk that was in a DELL Latitude 5490 laptop (but PC is dead).
PS2 : The disk had a defective capacitor (which I replaced)

Thanks in advance !
