Hey guys,
I'm having some serious trouble with Bitlocker
Recently , I Encrypted my E Partition (270 GB) and it all went smooth , I even restarted many times during the encryption with no issues.
3 Days ago , I didn't feel the need for BL anymore so I left it to be decrypted and then went to sleep.
Then my brother wakes me up in the morning telling me that the partition can't be accessed and that there was a power failure and the laptop shut down (On charger without the battery) on 51%.
For the past 3 days I've been trying to fix it , I'm really going crazy because I have the password and the recovery key but every time I insert one of them BL says they're wrong ( I'm 150% sure they're right).
The problem with this partition is it has all my family's photos and videos ( 40 GB of them) , they're really irreplaceable and priceless. I CAN'T lose them.
Things I've tried:
1-repair-bde through CMD ( crashes at 51%)
2-Manage-bde then unlock though CMD ( says password is wrong even though I know it's right)
3-really a lot of things but the above 2 options are the most known online.
Anyhow , the weird thing is that every thing stops at 51% , the same percentage that the laptop shut down at.
Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated.
P.S: Laptop is HP 4530s , Hard drive 640 GB , Win 7 Ultimate.
I'm willing to do anything , reinstall OS , install Linux , anything!
Any help is appreciated , Thnx!
#EDIT
Sorry guys forgot to add that when I insert the right password it says "bitlocker encryption failed to recover from abruptly terminated conversion due to corrupted conversion logs or write protected or smthing"
but when I add a wrong password it just says the password is wrong
also on manage-bde unlock it says the password FAILED to open the drive not the password is wrong
hope that helps anyhow.
Thnx again
