To ensure data security, the Windows partition on my computer is full encrypted with BitLocker. Yesterday, because of a power failure, Windows crashed and I tried to fix it many times, but it still wasn't able to boot. I have to reinstall the Windows system, but there are many important files in the Windows desktop and Documentation directory that I have to back up. Is there any way to back up or restore files from a BitLocker encrypted partition?
There are many reasons why Windows crashes, including virus attacks, hard disk failure, corrupt file system, abnormal system shutdown, and abrupt power failure, etc. After the Windows system is not able to start, we usually use the bootable WinPE media (ISO/CD/DVD/USB) to recover data from Windows partition. However, if the Windows partition is encrypted with BitLocker Drive Encryption, can we still create a BitLocker data recovery bootable disk (ISO/CD/DVD/USB) to recover data from the BitLocker encrypted partition? The answer is yes, how to do it, please refer to the guide below.
1. Download and install the free/trial version of Hasleo Data Recovery.
2. Click
> "Create Emergency Disk".

3. Select "USB" to create an emergency USB disk or "Explore ISO" to export the ISO file to a specified location, and choose other options as needed, then click "Proceed".

* The Download WinPE component option allows you to download WinPE components instead of looking for WinPE components from the current computer.
* The Enable support for 'Windows UEFI CA 2023' option allows you to create a bootable medium that complies with Microsoft's UEFI CA 2023 secure signature standard. This enables it to pass Secure Boot verification on computers that only trust this new certificate.
4. Hasleo Data Recovery begins creating WinPE image. Please wait patiently as this may take some time.

5. If you choose to create an emergency USB disk, upon successful image creation, Hasleo Data Recovery will prompt you to format the USB drive to continue. If you confirm, please select "Yes".

6. Hasleo Data Recovery has begun the process of creating an emergency USB disk or exporting the ISO file.

7. Wait for the process to complete.

Tips: After you complete exporting the ISO file, you can manually burn it to a CD/DVD/USB device using 3rd-party burning software, such as Hasleo WinToUSB, Nero Burning ROM.
1. Insert the Hasleo BitLocker data recovery WinPE bootable USB drive into a USB port of the computer that cannot be started, or put the Hasleo Data Recovery WinPE bootable CD/DVD into the DVD drive on that computer.
2. Turn on the computer, enter BIOS setup, change your computer boot sequence to boot from the CD/DVD or USB drive.
3. Restart your computer, the computer will automatically start from the BitLocker data recovery WinPE bootable disk. Now you can recover all your lost data by following the user's Guide below.How to Recover Deleted/Lost Files From BitLocker Encrypted Drive?
