0x400000011011Usage: repair-bde[.exe] InputVolume { OutputVolumeOrImage } { {-RecoveryPassword|-rp} NumericalPassword | {-RecoveryKey|-rk} PathToExternalKeyFile | {-Password|-pw} } [{-KeyPackage|-kp} PathToKeyPackage] [{-LogFile|-lf} PathToLogFile] [{-?|/?}] Description: Attempts to repair or decrypt a damaged BitLocker-encrypted volume using the supplied recovery information. If BitLocker was in the process of encryption or decryption or had been suspended prior to volume failure a clear key will be present on the volume. Repair-bde attempts to use this clear key by default if another key is not specified. WARNING! To avoid additional data loss, you should have a spare hard drive available. Use this spare drive to store decrypted output or to back up the contents of the damaged volume. Parameters: InputVolume The BitLocker-encrypted volume to repair. Example: "C:", "\\?\Volume{26a21bda-a627-11d7-9931-806e6f6e6963}". OutputVolumeOrImage The volume to store decrypted contents, or the file location to create an image file of the contents. Examples: "D:", "D:\imagefile.img". WARNING! All information on this output volume will be overwritten. -rk or -RecoveryKey Provide an external key to unlock the volume. Example: "F:\RecoveryKey.bek". -rp or -RecoveryPassword Provide a numerical password to unlock the volume. Example: "111111-222222-333333-...". -pw or -Password Provide a password to unlock the volume. -kp or -KeyPackage Optional. Provide a key package to unlock the volume. Example: "F:\ExportedKeyPackage" If this option is blank, the tool will look for the key package automatically. This option is needed only if required by the tool. -lf or -LogFile Optional. Provide a path to a file that will store progress information. Example: "F:\log.txt". -f or -Force Optional. When used, forces a volume to be dismounted even if it cannot be locked. This option is needed only if required by the tool. -? or /? Shows this screen. Examples: repair-bde C: D: -rk F:\RecoveryKey.bek -Force repair-bde C: D: -rp 111111-222222-[...] -lf F:\log.txt repair-bde C: D: -kp F:\KeyPackage -rp 111111-222222-[...] repair-bde C: D:\imagefile.img -kp F:\KeyPackage -rk F:\RecoveryKey.bek repair-bde C: D: -pw
