    BitLocker won't let me turn it off?


    Have a laptop which has had bitlocker for a while, trying to turn it off as it is no longer in use as a workstation, it is telling me it cannot be encrypted because it contains system boot information, but again, it is already encrypted and I am trying to turn it off? This doesn't make sense to me, anyone else seen this or dealt with it before?

    Here is the exact message I get after clicking 'Turn off BitLocker'

    Bitlocker Drive Encryption

    The drive cannot be encrypted because it contains system boot information. Create a separate partition for use as the system drive that contains the boot information and a second partition for use as the operating system drive and then encrypt the operating system drive.



    I get the same response using powershell and Disable-Bitlocker and also with a CMD prompt and manage-bde
