Windows 10: Bit Locker encryption resulting in a loss of data

Dear Community,


I have used for the 1st time bit locker to encrypt a usb stick.

The process seemed to work well and until the end it took more than 15 minutes.


Then I try to open my usb stick and I receive an error message saying that I have to format the usb stick.

Also, when I open the properties of the usb stick it shows that I have 0 mb free and 0 mb used...

Very strange.


Then a 2nd message:

"D:\ is not accessible. The volume does not contain a recognized file system. Please make sure that all requiered file system drivers are loaded and that the volume is not corrupted"


I can't loose all the information I have on this stick so please me retrieve them.


Thanks in advance.

Bit locker Encryption

Hello Fiends,

Actually my problem is that i have previously installed windows 7 ultimate(32 bit) in my desktop and to protect my data,
encrypted the "D drive" using bit locker, then after few months, i installed
windows 10 pro(64 bit) in my desktop without disabling the bit locker, after installation i was able to access my locked drive with same password.

Till here everything was fine, but after some days my Desktop started to lag then again i switched to
windows 7 ultimate(64 bit).

But Now i'm not able to access my encrypted drive which was locked by bit locker with same password.

While i'm trying to unlock the encrypted drive i'm getting the massage as
"Unable to Complete the requested operation because of either a catastrophic media failure
or a data structure corruption on the disk".

Pls Help.

Thanks.

 

Windows 10: How to hardware encrypt using bit locker without TPM.

Hi Ajit,

I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with encrypting the hard drive on Windows 10.

This issue might be due to problems with change in group policy settings for bit locker.

To assist you better, please provide us the below information:

• Have you created any system restore point on the computer prior to the issue?

I suggest you to manage the bit locker settings in the group policy settings by following the below link and check if it helps.

First before performing any changes in Bit locker settings, I suggest you to create System Restore point on the computer. So that we can restore back to previous Windows state if any issues occurs.

I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft Help Article about managing bit locker settings in the Group policy settings and check if it helps.

Bit Locker Encryption stuck

Hello friends,

I am having this weird bitlocker encryption problem that is annoying me from sometime. looking for a solution...

I am using a HP laptop with seagate 750 gb internal hardisk. It has 2 partions one i use for OS installation (60 GB) another for storing data (636 GB) since my laptop is old & doesnt have TPM i usually encrypt my D: only that is where i am storing all my
data. recently i had to format my harddisk due to some data issue. after format & reistallation when i m trying to encrypt my D: it gets stuck on 93% & hangs my PC. nothing is working even after (12 hrs) when i try force restrart (Power Button) the system
boots up well & works well too but when i unlock D: the system hangs again & bit locker start encrypting D: again at 93% if kept that for some time i have a BOD this keeps on repeating again & again on every restart. initially i thought it might be due to
bad drivers/ bad sectors so i formated my drive again & checked for bad sectors & updated all the drivers through device manager.. but to my bad luck it keeps on repeating again. In my last attempt i was manage to somehow stop the encrypting process & start
decryption of the drive which finished well. my drive is unprotected now & i really want to encrypt it but afraid to do so as i still dont know what is causing this & how to prevent it.

Friends please suggest
