But this is only for the first 1GB of files, and I don't need the files badly enough to shell out $200. The M3 Data Recovery didn't access initially, but when I unplugged then plugged back in the SeaGate drive (which removed the error message re a drive error), my password did work. Another commonly reported problem with the Samsung M3 is that it. The closest I found was this error that related to a failing drive. This same error had been experienced by other SeaGate users but no solutions were reported.
It was noteworthy was that after one false attempt with the right password and right recovery key, an x8007007a error was prompted Which surprised me as the given the Key ID was clearly the same - see below. On restart I was unable to access the external drive with theīitlocker password i had just entered - while I found this strangeĪs I knew what the password was - I figured I would just use.I was encrypting an external 2GB SeaGate drive when the power supply.This is long but I have looked to provide full detail, in short my Bitlocker password and recovery key don't work - even though my password does work in a 3rd party utility.
