I was encrypting my flash drive with Bit Locker File Encryption on a friend's laptop but had to pause it and remove the flash drive. When I connected the flash drive to my own laptop (which does not have Bit Locker installed on it), I was asked to resume encryption process, which I did. Due to the flash drive still being accessible during encryption, I deleted some file on it. The encryption process still went on after deleting the files. But I later got a red pop-up saying ERROR: FILE NOT FOUND The encryption process then ended immediately. When I removed the flash drive and inserted it again it wasn't showing in My Computer. Also there was no sound as to indicate the presence of a new usb hardware. I want to know if the flash drive has been permanently damaged , and if not how can I access the flash drive on my laptop again.?
