  Hello Michael,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  Recovery of BitLocker is the process by which you can restore access to a drive protected by BitLocker in case you cannot unlock the drive normally.

  You can use BitLocker Drive Encryption to protect your operating system drive (the drive where Windows is installed), a data reader fixed (for example, an internal hard drive) or a removable data drive (such as a USB) .

  If you're stuck on your PC, you will need a BitLocker recovery key to sign it.

  I suggest to check the following items and check if it helps.

  You should have saves CERT, as you were warned to do when encrypting the drive. Creating a "password reset disk" would have done, too. (I hope you're not expecting to break bitlocker encriptación :)

• BitLocker encrypted drive. How can I access it?

  Hello. I recently used Bitlocker to encrypt my external 1 to transcend hard drive. I got the recovery file, but then I had to format it because my computer was slow unexcpectedly. Unfortunately, before formatting my computer, I removed the password that will be used to unlock the drive, and I have not saved the file of recovery as well. I have now lost all my files that I can't access my hard drive without recovery. Is there something I can do?

  When you select BitLocker, you did because you assumed that no one could crack her if he didn't have the recovery file. Your assumption is correct. BitLocker does not distinguish between the owner (you) and a thief. He cares only the recovery file. Sorry to say.

  Before applying the encryption, it is essential to examine the situation of your PC is destroyed or stolen. You should ask yourself: I would always be able to access my encrypted media?

• Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

  Hello!

  I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
  250 GB HARD drive
  C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
  D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
  E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

  Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
  None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

  Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
  Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

  The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

  Thanks for your help!

  P.S. These applications did not help me:
  Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
  Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
  OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
  HDD Regenerator

  Thus you get back all your important data?

  I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

  FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
  But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

  I had to disable the "User Account Control" (UAC), which allows you to run as administrator in Vista.  After that I turned it off, all 4 of these updates installed and it doesn't require manual installation.   Follow these steps:

  In the case of Vista view:

  1.) go to start; Control Panel; "User accounts and family safety"; User accounts.
  2.) click on 'Enable user account control or disable' (last point on the page)
  3.) clear the checkbox "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer" and click "OK."
  4.) restart the computer, and then run the installation of the system and they work.

  If you are in Classic view:

  1.) go to start; Control Panel; Security Center
  2 screen.) in the "Windows Security Center", go to the last item "User Account Control" and click the button to turn off.

  You can also see the security shield in your Start menu.  You can also access the UAC via this.

  After that the installation of the system have been updated, make sure that you go back and turn the UAC "" and then restart your computer so that unauthorized updates do not occur.   Always try this turn off if install doesn't work.

• Impossible to defragment my hard drive

  My computer is running windows XP, but I have problems when I try to defragment the hard drive.
  When I click on Disk Defragmenter, a message box appears with the message ' Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk/f is expected to run on the volume: (C :) Boot. Please run Chkdsk/f'
  "When I then click START > RUN and type Chkdsk/f in the box, I am confronted then with the message "windows cannot find Chkdsk/f. make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. To search for a file, click the Start button and then click on search'
  When I search the file no results are found.
  Where am going wrong and what should I do to fix this problem?

  The only thing you are doing wrong is not a character "space" between "chkdsk" and the "/ f".
  After you enter this command, you will receive a message indicating that it must be run at the next reboot.  Just answer "Yes" and restart your machine.
