For security reasons, I use BitLocker to encrypt my data partition. Recently, I accidentally deleted some important files from this partition. I immediately stopped using the partition and tried to recover the data with several popular recovery tools. However, none of them—despite claiming to support BitLocker—were able to recover my deleted files. My question is: is it actually possible to recover data from a BitLocker-encrypted partition on Windows 8?
As an encryption tool in Windows 8 to protect important data, BitLocker Drive Encryption is really safe and effective, but it increases the difficulty of recovering data after losing data. Almost all traditional data recovery software cannot handle a BitLocker encrypted partition, although they claim to support it. Fortunately, the BitLocker encryption data recovery algorithm unique to Hasleo Data Recovery can help users recover data from a BitLocker encrypted partition in Windows 8. It's so simple and effective, you just have to follow the steps that are written in the instructions below.
Download, install, and run Hasleo Data Recovery. On the main interface, you'll see several recovery options. Please select BitLocker Data Recovery mode.
1. Please select the partition where you accidentally deleted or lost your files, then click "Scan" to locate all BitLocker-encrypted partitions on the device.
2. A pop-up window will appear asking you to enter the BitLocker password or 48-digit BitLocker recovery key. If you don't want to enter the password or BitLocker recovery key here, just click the "Skip" button to skip it.
3. Hasleo Data Recovery will display all detected BitLocker-encrypted partitions on the target device. If you provided the password or BitLocker recovery key in the previous step, the password status will show whether they match the partition.
4. After the deleted or lost Bitlocker encrypted drive is found, double click it. If you've already entered the password or BitLocker recovery key and the password or recovery key matches, Hasleo Data Recovery will start scanning lost files. Otherwise, a prompt will appear asking for your BitLocker password or 48-digit recovery key. After entering the correct credentials and clicking "OK", the scan will start.
The software will display a list of found files. You can preview them by path or file type. Select the files you want to recover and click "Recover" to save them. If some files are missing, click "Deep Scan" to start the Deep Scan Recovery process. This takes more time but can recover significantly more lost data.
As professional BitLocker Data Recovery software, Hasleo Data Recovery can not only recover deleted files from Bitlocker encrypted partition in Windows 8, but also recover data from Bitlocker encrypted drive in Windows 11/10.
