Windows 10: Bitlocker not showing up for 2nd drive?

So, I successfully encrypted one of my external HDDs. Today, I was planing to encrypt my 2nd external HDD but the option is not showing up. How can I activate it?

2nd Drive Files not Showing in Quick search

Hi all,

Background: I'm running Windows 10, anniversary update; with two physical drives, each also shown as a logical volume (C and D).

Issue: When searching from the Start menu, files on my C drive show up, however the ones on D do not.

Troubleshooting I have done so far:

• Verify that the 2nd Drive (D) has indexing enabled
• Verify that the folders on the drive also have indexing enabled
• Rebuild index
• The files DO appear when searching the 2nd drive via Windows Explorer, but NOT through the start search

Is this a known issue, and what steps can I take to resolve this?

 

Bitlock adding 2nd drive

Hello,

I have a laptop which is bit locked.

I do not have the bit locker key or password, but I have a 6 digit PIN.

I can start the laptop successfully with the pin and login to Windows 10.

If I add a 2nd internal hard drive, which is say already formatted to FAT32, or NTFS,

Can I then boot using the PIN, and read/write to the 2nd drive without the 2nd drive being bitlocked?

Many thanks
