You might be totally screwed. You did back up the data first right?

If there is/was a problem before bitlocker could finish I get the feeling your stuff is gone. Make sure there isn't a problem with the drive. A bit by bit copy program might help you copy it to a new drive and let bitlocker continue if your drive is failing. But other then that I have no ideas.
