    BitLocker doesn't see my external drive


    I have a few external drives connected to my Dell Latitude 7310. I encrypted one and want to encrypt one more, but the second one doesn't show up in Manage BitLocker. My other drives do. I stored encryption keys on that drive at one point but have since moved them. Any help is appreciated.
