Decipher with Bitlocker

I used bitlocker to encrypt my external hard drive (500 GB samsung) 2 years ago.

I tried to decipher the hard drive recently because I can not unlock the drive with my mac.
It took if a long time that I put in pause and eject the disc safely using a pc in an Internet café.
How can I resume the process?
I have to use the same PC to resume decryption?

Hello

After you reconnect the hard drive for any Windows machine, it automatically starts the decryption process.

  • Copy disk with BitLocker on?

    I havea 1 TB drive external HARD, that went wrong (by clicking noise when car access)
    I bought a replacement of same size HARD drive, but a reason any has a different number of sector.

    I need to copy the disc for damage on New drive... Is - this possible/safe to do when the player damage has turned on BitLocker?

    Also, I don't find a way to do this within Windows. All the free software I found requires a "LiveCD" to function...
    And with the player damage with BitLocker, there no way to unlock the drive of a Linux based Live CD (like CloneZilla)

    LMB

    Hello LarryMeBoy, I never encrypted a hard drive partition, but I wouldn't recommend doing this on the system partition or the recovery partition factory D:.

    Do this on these scores might make it unusable. There should be no need to do so because there is no user stored on these partitions data at all.

    The system partition contains the data needed to encrypt a hard drive (partition).

    Just some thoughts.

And now when I enter the password the bitlocker stops responding until I unplug the external drive, I tried to decipher the drive using bitlocker repair tool in cmd, but she also is stuck at 29% every time if I managed to get some data back but not my whole data.

    Thank you

    I'm sorry to say, but you have made two big mistakes:

    (a) you forgot to backup your data regularly, e.g. once per week.
    (b) you have not backed up your data before making a major change, such as when your data encryption.
    There is a small chance that you can repair the damage with the found here BitLocker Repair tool:
