Hello, I started encrypting one of my external hard disk drive. I saved a recovery key. But when I tried to attach it to my laptop,some error occurred after I entered the recovery key,it says that the drive is not accessible. When I attached the hard disk drive back to my dextop, the problem of my laptop followed it here. The drive became inaccessible to my computer. The disk is showing empty. I have tried every option of the "Manage Bitlocker" tab,but none of them working.That drive is very important to me,please help me. Thank you

Hi , I would like to suggest you to use the BitLocker Repair Tool to recover the drive. Please note that you must have the following: Recovery password Recovery key file location Recovery package file location and the corresponding recovery password Recovery package file location and the corresponding recovery key file location And, you must have an empty output volume of equal or larger size than the BitLocker-protected drive (whose contents will be completely overwritten after the repair operation). More reference: Repair-bde.exe Parameter Reference Hope that helps. Vincent Wang TechNet Community Support
