hello friends ;

i have this flash disk which has been encrypted using win7 bit locker , and got " for some reason " damaged ,

i know the password and i have the recovery key .

any software to repaire the volum ? or at least recover portions of the data ?

thank you alot

Can you elaborate on "damaged"?

Was it formatted? Can you image the device?

What are the first few sectors showing?

Have you tried the Bitlocker Recovery Tool?

Are you running a version of Windows that supports Bitlocker?

thank you for your reply

when plugged it shows the bitlocker windows telling " recovery error"

all sectors showing
UNREADABLESECTOR
using winhex

and yes i tried that tool "bd-repair" and it gave me
ERROR: The input volume has suffered damages to critical information related to the decryption key.
Please try the -KeyPackage option to specify a key package. The volume may not be recoverable.

i am using winddows 7 ultimate

CK asked a great question, and your answer above means you are looking for the wrong problem - stop wasting time looking for a BitLocker problem. You actually have a flash problem, based on your answer above, so it's no surprise that BitLocker can't decrypt something which is unreadable.

If you don't have flash recovery skills, you'll need to fix / outsource that part first.

+1 Vulcan.

You have a media problem which you need to address first.

Forget about Bitlocker for the moment, that's a mere file system issue.

You need to figure out what's wrong with the flash before you worry about bitlocker.
