How to recover formatted drive encrypted with bitlocker?

Solution 1:

I don't think even the CIA would be able to get your data back at this point.
My guess is that at some point, either during your Ubuntu or your Windows installation, you have formatted the partition containing your Bitlocker data. If this would have been a non-encrypted partition, you would have had a chance of recovering some files. Yet because you would need the entire, untouched Bilocker-protected partition in order to restore it (you don't), you won't be seeing you data back.

Take away lessons:

• When doing experiments like this, don't use your day-to-day computer, but use a test machine.
• If you have to use your own machine, first make backups. Actually... always make backups. Every day, or soms system that auto-backups any files changed.

So, unfortunately, the answer to this question is... "You can't"
