I tried to encrypt one of my external hard disks by using BitLocker yesterday, unfortunately I removed the disk abnormally while encrypting it. Now when I try to access the encrypted partition on this USB drive, this message appears: BitLocker Drive Encryption failed to recover from an abruptly terminated conversion. This could be due to either all conversion logs being corrupted or the media being write-protected. I've tried the password and BitLocker recovery key, and I'm sure I typed the correct password and recovery key. What can i do? Please some one help me.
