How to recover lost data from BitLocker encrypted drive showing RAW file system?

Posted by Tim to BitLocker Recovery on March 29th, 2014

BitLocker encrypted drive D is showing RAW file system and not NTFS. I want to be able to have my drive shown as a BitLocker encrypted drive with NTFS file system, then I can just unlock BitLocker encrypted drive and get all data back. Extremely grateful for anyone who can help me.

Recover lost data from BitLocker encrypted partition with RAW file system

The BitLocker encrypted drive is no longer accessible to unlock. When I run repair-bde and push the data to an empty drive it then prompts to check the drive with chkdsk /f.

After running that process I get the following error:

Type of the file system is NTFS.
Volume label is Media.
Corrupt master file table. Windows will attempt to recover master file table from disk.
Windows cannot recover master file table. CHKDSK aborted.

It is RAW drive. BitLocker repair tool cannot solve this issue.
