recovery – partially decrypted bitlocker drive


here is my situation :

I’ve encrypted an external drive with a tool (M3 bitlocker on Mac) with a password. I wanted to remove the encryption but decryption was not part of the M3 bitlocker free trial, so I used Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere which is free.
The decryption was in progress until the software freezes, so I had to kill it.
Then I was unable to see my hard drive anymore.

Here is what I did then :

  • I succeeded to clone my hard drive with DMDE in my Windows computer
  • I did run chkdsk on this clone and it fixed some partitions
  • I mounted it as a virtual drive
  • I can access all my folders and files without password
  • Some files are accessibles and some are not (ex: some videos cannot be played)
  • I tried a lot of tools without any success :/

I’ve contacted the Hasleo BitLocker Anywhere support and they told me that decrypting the data is not possible anymore since the decryption process was aborted. It should have stored some *.bad file in /Applications/HasloeBitLockerAnywhere.app/Contents/MacOS but I’ve reinstalled the software so there no files there.

Do you have any ideas how could I decrypt all the files ?
Thanks in advance,
