BdeHdCfg.exe Command

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee732026(v=ws.10).aspx

The BitLocker Drive Preparation Tool (BdeHdCfg.exe) is used to prepare a hard drive with the partitions necessary for BitLocker Drive Encryption. Most installations of Windows 7 will not need to use this tool because BitLocker setup includes the ability to prepare and repartition drives as required.

Repair-bde.exe Command

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee706528(v=ws.10).aspx

The BitLocker Repair Tool (Repair-bde) can be used to access encrypted data on a severely damaged hard disk if the drive was encrypted by using BitLocker. Repair-bde can reconstruct critical parts of the drive and salvage recoverable data as long as a valid recovery password or recovery key is used to decrypt the data. If the BitLocker metadata data on the drive has become corrupt, you must be able to supply a backup key package in addition to the recovery password or recovery key.  The above link leads to an article on the syntax/parameters of this command.
