    Bit Locker external hard drive locks up laptop


    I have an external hard drive, which was interrupted during initial encryption.

    When I plug the hard drive into my laptop, I simply cannot access the hard drive in any way as it simply goes to error after about a minute.


    Running Windows 7 Enterprise.


    Help!

    :)

    Hi John,

    We suggest that you try the troubleshooting steps below:

    • Open your External Hard Drive file in File Explorer.
    • Type the name of the file you want to search on the search box and click Enter.
    The file will show up in Search Results and you will be able to move it to the correct folder.

    Let us know if you need further help.
