WD5000BMVV-11GNWS0 Marn5_4K data not showing in DE

I have a 500GB WD5000BMVV-11GNWS0 Marn5_4K. It was not reading via USB, so I converted it to SATA. Everything looks healthy in PC-3000: normal mode, kernel mode, and sector edit. In DE, I mapped the head and checked the head surface, everything appears OK. However, I cannot access the drive using Explorer; it will not expand or show the NTF partition. What am I missing? See the screenshot.

I also created an image in DE and tried to decrypt and when I click on the sector it looks like is not decrypting.

Resolved :
The issue was resolved by creating an image in DE and then decrypt the image (it did take over 2 hours with a healthy drive). I was not able to do it from utilities.
