TestDisk

TestDisk is a powerful free data recovery software. It was primarily designed to help recover lost partitions and make non-booting disks bootable again when these symptoms are caused by faulty software, certain types of viruses or human error (such as accidentally deleting a Partition Table). Partition table recovery using TestDisk is really easy.

BitLocker data recovery is different from common data recovery, it needs BitLocker metadata and the password or 48-digit BitLocker recovery key to decrypt data from BitLocker encrypted drive.

Although TestDisk has the ability to recover lost partitions and make non-booting disks bootable again, but TestDisk doesn't have the function to decrypt data from BitLocker encrypted drive. What's more, TestDisk is a command line tool and not easy-to-use for home users. In this situation, we have to seek help from a professional and easy-to-use BitLocker data recovery software to recover lost data from BitLocker encrypted drive.
