Recovering a BitLocker-protected Intel Optane drive
Sean Watson’s July 2026 account follows our investigation of a laptop that would no longer boot. It explains the diagnostic process, working with a copy of the drive and using the customer’s recovery key to regain access to their files.
Every recovery is different. This case illustrates our approach, rather than a promise that every failed drive can be recovered.
