Iirc (edit: If I remember correctly), this is what I did:
* I have a 256 GB SSD on which I have three partitions C/D/E, to which I had assigned 50/25/25% of the space. All three were BitLocker-encrypted.
* I was running out of space on C so decided to change the proportions to 60/20/20% with AOMEI Partition Assistant SE. I used this tool before with no problems.
* First I resized E and moved it to the back.
* After completing successfully, I noticed that it was not completely at the back after all (probably because I was playing around with the size) and moved it to the back once more
* Then I did the same for D
* Only then I noticed that the BitLocker re-encryption for E had failed earlier, and that it failed for D now as well, and that both partitions are inaccessible in Explorer. Unfortunately I forgot to make a screenshot of the BitLocker-error and can't remember them either, or find them with Google.
* During the process I was so confident, I didn't really bother to check in Explorer if all went well at any point :stupid in hindsight:, so I can't tell if things were fine at any point
In AOMEI Partition Assistant SE all looks good and the correct configuration is shown, however Windows itself classifies the file system of both partitions as RAW.
I ran diskpart, chkdsk and TestDisk (Analyze > Quick Search / Boot); some of the output can be seen below.
I can post screenshots (and explain things a bit better maybe) and full log, but I think the moderator / you has to allow me to attach files?
Let me know if I can provide any more details.
