Windows 7 Any Way to Recover Formatted Bitlocker Key?

[Matt Stiehm]

So yes it was very stupid to not write the key down but i quick formatted my usb key with the bitlocker key on it and i cant seem to find it using recovery software.
I have used recuvra, recover my files, and pc file inspector and i still cant find it....

In all honesty, I don't have a definitive answer for you in this situation. But here is some information that may be useful to you:

There should be a 48-digit recovery password in the event you have lost the actual PIN? BitLocker recovery password details - System Integrity Team Blog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
