I was trying to encrypt my USB external hard drive (1 TB, mounted to E
using BitLocker, and after the encryption got 10.1% finished, I accidentally shut down the computer. After restarting, I tried to resume the encryption, but it gives me an error: "Encryption could not be resumed. The device is not ready." I've tried using >manage-bde -resume E: but it returns the same error with code 0x80070015. I also get the same error if I try to go to the Control Panel and Turn off BitLocker.
Running >chkdsk E: shows several corrupt attribute records, but I haven't tried running that with /F since I'm worried that might make it difficult to properly decrypt BitLocker.
Are there any recommendations on how to either resume the encryption or decrypt the 10.1% it's already done? I've heard there's a BitLocker repair tool, but I don't have an empty 1 TB drive to use for that.
System: Lenovo y510P running Windows 10 64-bit
