Bitlocker and System Drive Failure

Afternoon/evening. I am getting ready to implement bitlocker on both my
system drive and 2 other volumes. I have a concern before continuing.

In the event that I would ever have a hard drive failure (hopefully not for
a very long time) and I had to reload the OS on a new hard drive, would there
be a way for me to recover the data from the other 2 volumes on the other
physical drive once the OS is up and running? The reason I ask is that I have
backups on the secondary hard drive that I plan to encrypt along with the
system drive and I want to be sure that in a hard drive failure that I will
be able to get access to the backups from a new installation of Vista.
