Encryption has crippled my laptop…I think I’m going to have a stroke! – Encryption Methods and Programs – BleepingComputer

I encrypted my c-drive and external hard drive yesterday...it took like forever to do the 2TB external, then it did the c-drive. Same password for both.Everything looked fine after. I think I used Disk Cryptor...i cant remember...i was hurrying and trying to do that and work...chaos.Anyway, now my laptop wont boot at all. I get the blue screen and that it needs to be repaired...the boot config is missing or contains errors.I cant get it to do anything with the windows cd either(no I dont have a rescue disk...I think its in storage somewhere...). It wont even let me use the Windows cd to even factory-reset it...its locked! I can use the command prompt to get in with the Windows cd, and I can see my c-drive and external hd are now raw format, which is prob why Windows cant do anything with them. I tried using the boot repair in the same DOS window, but nothing...I know I need to get in and remove the passwords, but how??? I think if I used another pc, I could get into my external hd and just unlock it by removing the password...but I dont know what to do about my laptop...even if I could remove the password, the entire drive where Windows lives is now RAW format...that cant be good... I see theres software that can revert RAW to NTSF and salvage your data, but I need to get in first...oh my head!I think Im literally going to have a stroke bc all of my work is locked in there! My finances...everything. Omg! Im so upset I cant even remember if anything is backed up to the external hdI know I used it just to back up my iOS device so I could skip iTunes...I dont know that I bothered to back up my laptop stuff there...Can anyone suggest anything to unravel this? Ive read on other encryption software sites that a lot of people are having issues with things turning to raw files, so i get this may be a common thing, but I havent seen any solutions except maybe EaseUS Recovery.I literally cant recreate all this data, and I cant be down for weeks waiting for a technician to fix, so any suggestions you can give would be super!
