i encrypted 1 of the 3 partitions on my external HDD using bitlocker. it is a 60 GB partition on 250 GB HDD. while decrypting it, there was a power faliure and the error occured, windows 7 x64 shows the drive not formatted and the bitlocker also doesnt detect it.
i tried using the bitlocker repair tool in command prompt with the command "repair-bde m: e: -rp <recovery pwd>" , but it hangs on pressing enter and nothing shows up except
" bitlocker drive encryption : repair tool version 6.1.7600

i can access the other 2 partitions on the drive and they r visible in the explorer, but the corrupted partition is not accessible.
the Bitlocker Drive Decryption window appears asking me the password just when i had removed the HDD fom USB and will go away after 3-4 seconds.
the 3rd partition is not there when HDD is plugged in (i can see the other 2 partitions). but it will appear with a icon of bitlocker locked drive for 3-4 sec just after i had removed the HDD from the USB.
If connect the HDD in windows XP and use some partition manager program like "Eaesus partition manager" then it shows all the 3 partitions with the file system of the 3rd partition as " Other(Bitlocker encrypted)"
Moreover my computer wont shutdown when the HDD is pluged in it. it shows the "shutting down" screen and remain there till the time i dont remove the HDD.
when i start the computr with HDD plugged in, desktop appear but not the gadgets and it hangs like this till the time i dont remove the HDD.
Is there a usb issue with win 7 ???
can any1 help me out plz.....the data is very important for me and i want it at any cost...
