  1. Bitlocker partition got corrupted Need help!


    From my 500 GB SSD I've created 20 GB partition for BitLocker, today suddenly it started showing message "Needs to be formatted before use" . I tried almost everything CMD, Sfc/Scan, Error check, M3 data recovery nothing is working.

    Any help is really appreciated.

  2. BitLocker on Windows 10

    Hi,

    Thank you for the response and keeping the status updated.

    This could be due to some corruption in the system files, please check the methods below and see if it helps:

    Method 1:

    I suggest you to start the BitLocker Device Encryption service.

    Follow the below steps:

    • Press Windows key + R from the Keyboard.
    • Type services.msc and hit Enter.
    • Search for BitLocker Device Encryption service.
    • Double click on BitLocker Device Encryption service and click on
      Start button.
    • Click on the dropdown list and set the Startup type to
      Automatic.

    Method 2: Please try the steps provided in the given article.

    Unlock a BitLocker-protected drive

    If the issue persists, follow method 2.

    Method 3: Perform SFC scan

    I would suggest you to perform SFC scan and check if that helps. The
    sfc/scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions. It is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore
    corrupted files.

    Refer the link: Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted
    system files


    Note: Link applies to Windows 10 as well.

    Bitlocker partition got corrupted Need help!

    W7 Hard drive partition issue

    to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

    - press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
    - diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
    - list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
    - select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
    - clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
    - create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
    - exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
    - click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that
