    I have a laptop that was running Vista 64bit Enterprise fine. It's disk is
    also protected by bitlocker. It is now in a state where none of the recovery
    console options seems able to recognize the drive. From a command line
    bootrec.exe I can see the disk and it's original partitions of proper sizes.
    However they are 'hidden' and there are no visible volumes. Is there any
    good way to restore the information that would make the disk recoverable?

    I hope you do not own this machine and that you have back-ups of your data.

    I have no idea to whom you are replying or about what you are
    replying. If you want to be understood, *please* quote enough of the
    previous message to put your reply into context.
