    BitLocker metadata is not valid


    Dear TenForums,

    I have a problem with my encrypted 128GB SDcard. First of all I tried to unlock it and check automatic unlock for my computer. I did and SDcard was unlocked successfully. But next time when I switched computer on, I had to unlock SDcard again. I went to Manage BitLocker and tried to turn BitLocker off, but I've got this error message:

    "The BitLocker metadata for the encrypted drive is not valid. You can attempt to repair the drive to restore access."

    I tried to format SD card after I unlocked it and got this error message: "Windows was unable to complete the format."
    I also tried chckdsk but it wants me to format before.

    The thing is that I can access and read data on the card, I can erase them, move or copy, create new folders etc. but until I eject SD card or turn off computer. When I switch on the situation is the same, I need to unlock again and there is no change I made about the data.

    I'm really desperate

    Thanks for any answer

    Cheers,



    :)

    Accidently Deleted Bitlocker Encrypted Drive

    The link above goes to a news web site not the M3 site.

    However on the M3 site note the following caveat

    "If you formatted Bitlocker drive using format tool built-in Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10, there is no way to recover data from formatted Bitlocker encrypted drive, because Bitlocker metadata has been erased after formatting under Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10.

    If you formatted Bitlocker drive using other OS or other method, please download and try M3 Bitlocker Recovery to recover data from formatted Bitlocker encrypted drive as long as Bitlocker metadata is intact."
