    5. When I plug the external Hard Disk a window open, so I see that all the files and folders are there, when I try to access to any file the windows got error and change name to "Folder name" Does nor answer



    I also try on otrher USB ports, other PCs, to stop the process on BitLocker Manager, and dont work.

    After upgrade to Windows 10, external hard disk encypted by BitLocker

    Almost 4 weeks ago I upgraded the OS of my Asus from Win8 to Win10.

    Before the upgrade, my external hard disk (WD My Passport Ultra) was properly working.

    After the upgrade, the first time I connected it to my computer, the system automatically encrypted the hard disk with a BitLocker Key.

    I have no idea where to find the BitLocker key for my external hard disk and have no longer access to my data.

    Tried to connect it to another computer, but still asking for the BitLocker Key.

    What to do?

    Bitlocker Encryption of my external hard disk stuck at 36.6%. Data is accessible and no other issues but what is wrong with encryption?

    Hi

    I own a Lenovo Ideapad Laptop. Recently I had upgraded to Windows Pro and tried to encrypt my 1 TB External Hard Disk with Bitlocker. All went smoothly till the encryption reached 36.6%, after that it has been stuck. No Encryption is not paused/hanged, Data
    is not corrupt easily accessible.

    No other issues. I had tried decrypting and using chkdsk to find and repair any bad sectors but without any success. Windows chkdsk shows no bad sectors in the drive.

    Please help
