Recovering lost MBR

I have a laptop that was running Vista 64bit Enterprise fine. It's disk is
also protected by bitlocker. It is now in a state where none of the recovery
console options seems able to recognize the drive. From a command line
bootrec.exe I can see the disk and it's original partitions of proper sizes.
However they are 'hidden' and there are no visible volumes. Is there any
good way to restore the information that would make the disk recoverable?

How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to
troubleshoot and repair startup issues in Windows Vista:

Maybe you can recover the data with this Linux tool - not 100% sure
though: 'Computer First Aid Using Knoppix'

I have no idea to whom you are replying or about what you are
replying. If you want to be understood, *please* quote enough of the
previous message to put your reply into context.
